Astros pitcher Brandon Backe suffered a bone bruise on his right foot when he was hit by a hard grounder during batting practice. X-rays were negative. Manager Cecil Cooper said Saturday’s injury wasn’t serious, but he was still going to hold Backe out of Sunday’s workout. “We’re going to get him some extra rest to make sure he’s OK,” Cooper said.
