The Houston Astros are expecting Jason Castro and Taylor Jones to return in the coming days, as Jones will require a 40-man roster spot to return. Jose Siri has continued to crush the baseball, which may leave Jones in the minor leagues when moved back to the 40-man roster.
Siri has a strong chance to remain on the active roster until the end of the season, after going 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI on Monday night. The right-hander has also taken more innings in Michael Brantley’s (knee) absense, but at full strength, he is likely the odd man out.
