With Marwin Gonzalez returning to the Houston Astros on Sunday, it is uncertain who will be optioned as a corresponding move. The 40-man roster is currently not full, as Zack Greinke and Taylor Jones don’t count against it due to health and safety protocol.

Jose Siri took one 40-man spot from these two, while Gonzalez can be anticipated to take the other. The switch-hitter was spotted heading to San Diego on Sunday by a fan at a Houston airport, before being placed on the taxi squad on Saturday.

Gonzalez played in two contests with the Triple-A Sugar Land Skeeters this week, where he slashed 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a walk.
