Astros call up catcher Max Stassi from Fresno

MINNEAPOLIS – Catcher Max Stassi, who was recalled from Class AAA Fresno after Jason Castro was placed on the disabled list Saturday, hopes to take advantage of his latest opportunity in the majors.

“It feels good to be back,” said Stassi, who has been called up late in the season for the third consecutive year. “It’s unfortunate what happened to Jason. I’ll just be up here trying to learn from him and (Hank) Conger and contribute to this team as much as I can.

“These guys are winning. I’m just going to try to mesh right in and help them out in any way I can.
