On Sunday, the Houston Astros placed Jason Castro on the 10-day injured list with right-knee discomfort, as the catcher hits the shelf for the second time this season. The left-hander’s two injured list stints have come with no warning, while reports of him being sidelined never surfaced before the transfer.
As a corresponding move, Garrett Stubbs was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land. Stubbs, who is the only optionable catcher on the 40-man roster, was recently out of the Skeeters’ lineup with a right-ankle sprain that never warranted a 7-day injured list stint.
