For baseball's healthiest team this season, the bumps and bruises are now coming at an alarming rate.
Lance McCullers left with right elbow discomfort, and the Houston Astros' offense continued to sputter.
Following back-to-back extra-inning games, the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen was in need of a break. R.A. Dickey stepped into that void and provided seven strong innings to give most of the bullpen a night off.
This is why the Astros made Ken Giles the centerpiece to a seven-player trade in the offseason.
James Hoyt joined the Astros on Tuesday and will officially be selected to the roster Wednesday.
