Placed on IL with back injury
The Astros placed Bolton on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with mid-back inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analiz
Bolton was lifted from his previous start Sunday against the Mariners with a back issue that had lingered since his previous outing. The injury doesn't seem to be a long-term issue, but the loss of Bolton for any period of time represents yet another blow to the Astros' rotation depth.

Set for additional imaging
Bolton (back) will undergo additional imaging in the near future, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analiz
Bolton was forced to exit his outing Sunday against Seattle in the second inning with mid-back tightness, which is now understood to be related to his previous back issue from earlier in the week. The 27-year-old explained following the team's 6-1 loss to Seattle that the tightness occurred in the same area that he took a line drive off his back Monday in Colorado. Bolton attempted to pitch through it in an effort to give Houston some much-needed length on the mound Sunday, but the Astros now appear to be dealing with yet another injury to their pitching staff.

Leaves early with back tightness
Bolton left Sunday's contest against the Mariners in bottom of the second inning with back tightness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analiz
Bolton was far from sharp to open Sunday's matchup, hitting a batter while walking another and giving up a single and run in the bottom of the first. He then walked all three batters he faced in the second frame before being removed with back discomfort. The right-hander worked his way back from having been hit in his back by a line drive in the first inning of his previous start Monday versus the Rockies, and it's unclear if Sunday's issue is connected to that. More information on his status will likely be provided following the conclusion of the team's series finale with Seattle.

Cleared to start Sunday
Bolton (back) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Mariners in Seattle, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analiz
Bolton will get another turn in the rotation after he made his first MLB start Monday in Colorado. The right-hander acquitted himself well at Coors Field, striking out five over 4.1 innings while allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks. The Astros sent Bolton in for a precautionary MRI after he was struck in the back by a line drive in the first inning Monday, but the tests turned up nothing concerning. He tossed 63 pitches in his previous start and will likely increase his workload Sunday as he gets fully stretched out for what could be a long-term appointment in the rotation with Hunter Brown and Cristian Javier both recently landing on the injured list with Grade 2 shoulder strains.
