Max Stassi catching Tuesday for Houston

Houston Astros catcher Max Stassi is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

On Monday, the team purchased Stassi's contract from Triple-A Fresno with both Brian McCann (knee) and Evan Gattis (concussion) on the disabled list. As he provides Juan Centeno with a rest today, Stassi will make his first start since being called up. He hits seventh opposite lefty Anthony Banda.

Stassi has put together 12 home runs and a .378 wOBA at Triple-A this season, while the Astros have an implied total of 4.9 runs tonight at Chase Field.
