Fantasy Impact
Salazar gets called up with Yordan Alvarez placed on the injured list. He will hold a depth role at catcher for Houston.
César Salazar was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, per team updates, with Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini set as Houston’s primary catchers for the season.
Fantasy Impact
Salazar’s .787 OPS in 12 Astros games and .788 mark over 78 Sugar Land contests in 2024 couldn’t top Diaz and Caratini, landing him in Triple-A Tuesday. The 29-year-old’s bat stays steady. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, eyeing a call-up if injuries hit Houston’s catching depth later in the season.
