Astros having injury “issues”

This has been an interesting spring for the Astros when it comes to injuries.

First, the good guys had offseason acquisition Kaz Matsui miss much of spring training after having to undergo surgery for an anal fissure. I mean, that has to be one of the most unique and strangest conditions any Astro (or any baseball player for that matter) has had to miss time for. According to Eamonn Brennan, it’s just as bad as it sounds.

Shortly after Matsui’s return to the lineup comes word of another Houston injury, to another offseason acquisition, center fielder Michael Bourn. His is the more customary “sore groin,” according to the Houston Chronicle, and he’ll only miss a few days.

Still, the Astros seem to be having problems with injuries to their “sensitive” areas.
