Returns to majors
The Astros recalled Murray from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Julia Morales of Space City Home Network reports. Murray was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll now return to the big-league bullpen to replace Bennett Sousa (elbow), who landed on the IL on Saturday. Murray will likely be limited to middle-relief duties after giving up four earned runs over six innings during his first four appearances with the Astros this year.
Sent back to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Murray to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. Murray will give up his spot on the active roster to right-hander Ryan Weiss (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. After being recalled from Triple-A on April 19, Murray made three appearances out of the bullpen but had gone unused over the Astros' last six games.
