Injuries have plagued the likes of Luis Valbuena, Marwin Gonzalez, Carlos Gomez, Luke Gregerson, and now Colby Rasmus. The post All-Star break has not been kind to the Astros.
The Astros veteran outfielder, who has seen his numbers plummet since his hot April, will now join the disabled list due to a cyst in his right ear. This news comes on the heels of Rasmus being diagnosed with an ear condition called cholesteatoma, which causes growths to appear behind the eardrum, during the previous week.
