The Houston Astros placed Brett Oberholtzer (finger) back on the 15-day disabled list following his early exit from Wednesday's start, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

Analysis:

Oberholtzer started for the Astros on Wednesday for the first time this season, but his outing was cut short after he aggravated the blister that delayed the start of his campaign, and he is now facing another recovery period. It took Oberholtzer roughly six weeks to recover from the initial blister, but he is optimistic he will be able to return quicker this time around.
