Related Topics: Facial trauma, Houston Astros

Houston Astros prospect Colin Moran had one most violent injuries in Astros history earlier this season. Moran fouled a pitch off his face in July and was put on the DL with a facial fracture until he was sent to Single-A Quad Cities for a rehab assignment at the end of August.

Moran now returns to the Astros after his rehab stint that included winning the Midwest League Championship.

IF Colin Moran (#38) was activated from the 10-day DL on Sunday and will report to the team today in Houston.
