Alex Avila, who has been dealing with back tightness, was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday. Willians Astudillo was called up in a corresponding move (Aaron Gleeman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Avila's back was bothering him earlier this week when he was scratched from the lineup on September 2nd with back tightness. He also exited Friday's game early, likely for the same reason. Astudillo will split catching duties with Ryan Jeffers but could see time at other positions as well, per beat writer Aaron Gleeman.
