Downs left Friday's game with discomfort in his right oblique. Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. After missing 16 games with a similar injury in August, it is likely that the southpaw will miss the remainder of the season. The situational lefty struggled all year posting an ERA above 5.00, while splitting time in the minor leagues and with the Astros.
