Qualls to the DL, and Singleton takes his spot on the 25 man roster? Seeing that Hinch seems to like 13 pitchers, are we expecting another roster move?

Across sports, this stuff frustrates me the most. I can understand the passion these guys have, but when they are hurting the team AND there are viable replacements, it is inexcusable.
I'm assuming in this case, it was the Astros telling him, "Look guy, you've been terrible lately. I'm willing to bet it's because of that (wink wink) PULLED OBLIQUE, right??"
The guy didnt want to admit he was injured in fear of losing his job. Hes in a city where he wants to be in and in a situation that he knows that he can be replaced very easily with all the up and coming arms along with the deep bullpen we already have now. If you look at it through his view, you'd get up and pitch hurt every day too, in hopes of just getting through the inning when youre called upon.
