CALL TO THE ‘PEN
The Astros placed Luke Gregerson on the family medical emercy list on Friday. He’ll miss a minimum of three games and a maximum of seven before the Astros would have to make another transaction. Houston officials sounded hopeful Gregerson would be back for the start of next week’s homestand. Chad Qualls is expected to close in Gregerson’s absence.
