Salazar Out, Diaz Near Return

Catcher César Salazar heads to Triple-A Sugar Land after an outright assignment, making room for Collin Price as the Astros’ backup catcher while Yainer Diaz recovers from injury. Salazar, who’s seen time with the big club this season, stays in the system for depth and familiarity. Meanwhile, outfielder Rhylan Thomas was released after never playing a game for Houston. The Astros are nearing a rehab return for Diaz, who’s been working hard in batting practice and live sessions — good news as Christian Vázquez handles catching duties in his absence.
