Houston Astros C Jason Castro (personal) was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, May 10. C Max Stassi was recalled from Class AAA Fresno in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Tip: Castro was finally starting to get going, creeping his batting average nearly back up to the Mendoza Line this month. As for the promotion of Stassi, owners can look the other way here, as Castro will be back in a few days at most, though the youngster does have potential to eventually win the job. Erik Kratz is the more experienced backup and might see more at-bats anyway while Castro is away from the team.

Houston Astros C Max Stassi (wrist) started a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, May 3, with Class AAA Fresno, and he is expected to catch fellow rehabbing SP Lance McCullers (shoulder) in a game with the Grizzlies Saturday, May 7.

Fantasy Tip: Stassi is making progress, and he is likely to slot behind the red hot Jason Castro once Stassi is healthy enough to return. Veteran Erik Kratz has done absolutely nothing at the dish so far.

Houston Astros C Max Stassi (hand) is taking a few days off from his minor-league rehab assignment in Florida due to a sore oblique. It isn't much of an injury, but more of a delay in his recovery from left hamate bone surgery. Manager A.J. Hinch said Stassi will be able to resume his resume in a couple of days.

Fantasy Tip: Stassi has a career .357 batting average in limited playing time. It remains to be seen what he can do with regular playing time, and as long as Jason Castro stays healthy Stassi won't have a regular role.

Houston Astros C Max Stassi (hand) will miss six weeks due to surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his left hand.

Fantasy Tip: Stassi was a top prospect a few years ago, but he has no fantasy value right now. He was in line to be the backup catcher.

Houston Astros C Max Stassi (hand) has left spring training camp to have a hamate bone injury in his left hand checked out.

Fantasy Tip: Stassi, who will turn 25 on Tuesday, March 15, was expected to be the favorite to win the Astros' backup catcher job this season. He is a .357 hitter with one home run and seven RBIs in 42 career MLB at-bats and was considered a top prospect not too long ago, although he only batted .211 in 294 at-bats with Class AAA Fresno in 2015. Cs Alfredo Gonzalez and Tyler Heineman could be in the mix for the No. 2 catching job if Stassi is forced to miss an extended period of time.
