Astros recalled INF Jacob Elmore from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

He'll take the roster spot of Jose Altuve, who was placed on the bereavement list following the death of his grandmother. Elmore, 25, was batting .300/.381/.457 with two home runs, 15 RBI, eight stolen bases, and an .838 OPS in 36 games at Triple-A this season. Ronny Cedeno and Marwin Gonzalez figure to see most of the playing time in the middle infield until Altuve is ready to rejoin the team.

Jacob Elmore is nursing a strained left oblique.

The Astros are calling him day-to-day, but with an oblique there's always a chance it will be a while. Elmore is competing for a bench role this spring and could wind up with a decent amount of playing time at shortstop.

Astros claimed INF Jacob Elmore off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Elmore failed to hit in his short stint with the D'Backs this season, but he batted .344/.442/.465 with 32 steals at Triple-A. He should have a good shot at sticking on the Astros' Opening Day roster.

Jacob Elmore - 2B - Astros

Diamondbacks purchased the contract of 2B Jacob Elmore from Triple-A Reno.

Elmore was dominating in the minors (.908 OPS), so it's a deserving promoting. A former 34th round pick, he wasn't listed among the organization's top 30 prospects.
