HOUSTON -- The Astros placed outfielder Josh Reddick on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday because of a lingering infection near his left knee. Jake Marisnick was recalled from Triple-A Fresno in a corresponding move.
Reddick, who briefly spoke with SportsTalk790 on Tuesday about the ailment, said pain from the skin infection had subsided, for the most part, as he continued taking medication since discovering the issue following last week's return flight from Anaheim late at night on May 16.
