Roy Oswalt has left the Astros temporarily to help his parents, whose Mississippi home was destroyed Saturday by a tornado.
The family escaped without injuries, but there are obviously a whole range of things that need to be cleared up. Oswalt pitched Friday, so he would've had the next four or five days off anyway. Hopefully that's all it takes, and hopefully the damage to the Oswalts' home isn't too significant.
