César Salazar: Breaking News

Back in big leagues

Salazar had his contract selected from Triple-A Sugar Land before Monday's game against the Dodgers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Salazar was promoted a few hours before first pitch after it was announced that Yainer Diaz was scratched with an abdominal injury. Salazar will serve as the backup catcher to Christian Vazquez on Monday.

Receives outright assignment

Salazar cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Salazar was designated for assignment Wednesday, but the 30-year-old catcher will remain within the Astros' organization. He could be called upon if Yainer Diaz or Christian Vazquez sustain an injury.

Designated for assignment

The Astros designated Salazar for assignment Wednesday. The Astros chose to roster Christian Vazquez over Salazar as their backup catcher. Teams are often on the lookout for catching depth, so it's possible Salazar draws interest on waivers.
