Recalled from Sugar Land

The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis

Salazar was up with the big club briefly earlier this season, going 1-for-7 at the dish. He'll temporarily step in as the Astros' No. 2 catcher behind Yainer Diaz (hand) after Victor Caratini (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
