The Astros hoped to avoid making a move before September call ups but alas it was required.
The Astros were hoping to not have to place Jason Castro on the disabled list until September call ups on Tuesday. But, Castro's quad is tender enough that wouldn't be able to help even in extreme situations. Today, the Astros placed Castro on 15-day disabled list and recalled Max Stassi from Triple A Fresno.
#Astros officially recall C Max Stassi and place C Jason Castro on the 15-day DL. Stassi will join the club tonight in Minnesota.
