Astros call up Davis, Deetz to bolster roster

HOUSTON -- With infielder Marwin Gonzalez nursing a sore oblique and reliever Hector Rondon day to day after a line drive hit him on his throwing hand Monday, the Astros called up infielder J.D. Davis and right-hander Dean Deetz from Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday.

"Both Deetz and Davis were on the list for us to consider after the Triple-A season had concluded," manager AJ Hinch said. "The two injuries [Monday] made us feel like we needed a little bit more depth -- Davis on the infield and Deetz in the bullpen.
