As the Houston Astros wait for more clarification on the status of Isaac Paredes after the All-Star third baseman injured his hamstring on Saturday, the team announced several roster moves on Sunday ahead of their game against the Seattle Mariners. Astros' beat writer Brian McTaggart was the first to report that utility infielder/outfielder Shay Whitcomb and first baseman Jon Singleton were being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land.
In a move that was officially announced on Sunday afternoon, Paredes was placed on the 10-day IL, and catcher César Salazar was optioned to Triple-A. In making room for Singleton on the 40-man roster, infielder Brendan Rodgers was transferred to the 60-day IL.
