Astros' Walker Janek: Lands on Double-A injured list
Rotowire
Double-A Corpus Christi placed Janek on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified injury.
Jimmy Price of AstrosFuture.com noted that Janek was pulled early from a game Friday after he came up limping while scoring from second base on a single, so the 23-year-old catcher could be nursing some sort of lower-body injury. Before landing on the shelf, Janek had gotten off to a rough start to the season at Corpus Christi, slashing .135/.179/.216 with one home run and four stolen bases while striking out at a 35.9 percent clip over 78 plate appearances.
