Lindstrom to DL, Fernando Abad up

Predictably, and thankfully, the Astros have placed Matt Lindstrom on the DL with a sore back.

Lindstrom:
I don’t want to cost my team any more games. The good news is my arm feels great, and that’s why it is so frustrating for me right now. I can’t get on the same page with my back.”

Fernando Abad has been recalled to take his roster spot.

We also find out within the linked Notes Column that Jeff Keppinger has a bone in his toe that is SPLIT IN HALF.

"It's a little bone that's split in half (with cartilage in between them), something I was born with."

Cuckoo!
