Bronx, NY (My Sportsbook) - Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt aggravated a groin injury during his start against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night. Oswalt, who spent 15 days on the disabled list in May because of the problem, left the game in the second inning while pitching to Jorge Posada. The righthander worked one perfect inning with two strikeouts before exiting. Peter Munro took over for Oswalt. Oswalt was making his third start since being activated off the disabled list on May 31. He had thrown seven innings in each start since coming off the DL, allowing just one run on 13 hits. In 12 starts this season, Oswalt is 4-4 with a 3.15 earned run average. Oswalt initially strained his groin while running the bases in a May 15 game against Pittsburgh. He slipped on second base after hitting a double. |
