Conflicting reports from the Astros.com Tweeters on Bud Norris, who has been shut down.
Let's check in with Brian McTaggart, who was first:
Bud Norris shut down with arm fatigue
And then Alyson Footer, seven minutes later:
Bud Norris done for year..not injured. Just playing it safe. Has pitched more innings than ever and club is erring on side of caution.
A minute later we read that Wilton Lopez will get the start in Philadelphia next week. But this has to be the smartest move the Astros have made all year.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
