Astros Send Injured Player Home for Testing During Road Trip

The Houston Astros are dealing with another injury blow after sending a key player home for additional medical testing following Wednesday's game.

The player got hurt during the game and will not continue on the team's current road trip. Instead, he's heading back to Houston for more tests to figure out how serious the injury is.

This continues a tough stretch for the Astros, who have been dealing with multiple player injuries recently. The team had to move on from two other players who got banged up during camp earlier.

Injuries are a normal part of baseball, but losing key players can hurt a team's performance. When star players are out, other teammates have to step up to fill the gaps.

The Astros haven't said how long this player might be out or what exactly is wrong with him.
