Pitcher's Back Woes: Injury Derails Start

Houston pitcher Bolton experienced a premature end to his second major league start on Sunday, with his team's manager citing back tightness as the cause. The injury is located in the same spot where Bolton was struck by a hard-hit ball in his debut start last Monday.

Bolton indicated that the discomfort intensified during the second inning, hindering his performance. Despite efforts to manage the pain and continue pitching, the tightness became too much. This setback adds to the Houston Astros' mounting injury concerns, as they have lost multiple starting pitchers on their current extensive road trip.
