The Astros will be shorthanded on star power for at least the next few days after placing left fielder Yordan Alvarez, third baseman Alex Bregman and second baseman Jose Altuve on the injured list.
In total, five Astros players landed on the IL before Wednesday's game against the Tigers, all for undisclosed reasons. Second baseman Robel Garcia and catcher Martin Maldonado joined Alvarez, Bregman and Altuve on the IL.
For typical injuries, players are either placed on the 10-day or 60-day IL, while players who experience concussion symptoms can be played on the 7-day IL.
