Houston Astros C Max Stassi (concussion) said Wednesday, Feb. 12, that he is over his concussion, and will be ready for spring training. "All that's in the past now. I feel 100 percent, ready to go," Stassi said. Stassi, who might be the team's catcher of the future, is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City as long as Cs Jason Castro and Carlos Corporan remain healthy.

The Houston Astros placed C Jason Castro (knee) on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, Sept. 17, ending his season.

Fantasy Tip: You can safely drop Castro for the final 11 games of the season. Carlos Corporan should see the majority of the catching duties until the end of the season if you have the need in a two-catcher format.

The Houston Astros placed C Carlos Corporan (concussion) on the 7-day disabled list Tuesday, Aug. 20, and recalled C Max Stassi and P David Martinez from the minors in corresponding moves.

Fantasy Tip: Stassi is one of the team's top prospects, but he'll serve as the backup to Jason Castro. Only pursue Stassi as a power-hitting second catcher in deep AL-only setups.

Houston Astros C Max Stassi is set to be called up from Double-A Corpus Christi Tuesday, Aug. 20, for his major league debut. C Carlos Corporan (head) will head to the disabled list after leaving the game Monday, Aug. 19, with a possible concussion. Stassi was batting .277 with 17 home runs and 60 RBIs at Corpus Christi.

Fantasy Tip: Stassi, who has 20-homer pop as a backstop, will serve as the backup to Jason Castro. That'll limit his fantasy value to the deepest of AL-only leagues.
