Bolton suffered a back injury in his latest appearance. He is the latest Astros pitcher to land on the injured list.

The mid-back tightness that forced Bolton out of Sunday's start against Seattle in the second inning is believed to be related to the area where he took a line drive off his back Monday in Colorado. Bolton attempted to stay in the game to give Houston additional length before being pulled.
