Houston Astros place outfielder Joey Loperfido on 10-day IL
The move comes after Loperfido strained his right quad in Friday’s loss, and Houston recalled right-hander Jayden Murray to fill the roster spot.
- On Sunday, the Houston Astros placed outfielder Joey Loperfido on the 10-day injured list after he suffered a left quad strain during Friday's 9-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
- Loperfido is the third Astros outfielder to land on the injured list this season. Manager Joe Espada hinted on Saturday that the outfielder might need time away from the field.
- To address the roster vacancy, Houston claimed outfielder Dustin Harris off waivers from the Chicago White Sox and recalled pitcher Jayden Murray from Triple-A Sugar Land while designating J.P. France for assignment.
- The team deployed Cam Smith, Taylor Trammell, and Shay Whitcomb in the outfield on Sunday, while Houston prefers keeping Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve at designated hitter and second base, respectively.
- Reinforcements could arrive next week; infielder Zach Dezenzo started a rehab assignment on Saturday and has seven days to ramp up, while Jake Meyers and Jeremy Peña remain eligible to return.
