HOUSTON -- Colby Rasmus needed antibiotics via an IV on Monday as he struggles to recover from a bug bite on his left wrist that's become infected, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said.
Rasmus was scratched from the starting lineup about two hours before Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Yankees with a "skin infection" and has not played since. Hinch said Rasmus remembers first noticing the bite in Seattle last week, but the outfielder played through the issue.
