Springer (wrist) was officially placed on the DL on Thursday, and he's expected to miss at least six weeks.

Analysis:

As expected, Springer will land on the DL after taking a pitch off the wrist during Wednesday's game. He'll remain out for at least a month-and-a-half, and the Astros' current plan calls for reevaluations in two weeks and six weeks. Domingo Santana figures to pick up some extra playing time in his absence, and the Astros also called up Alex Presley from Triple-A Fresno to take Springer's roster spot.
