While it has been known for some time that the Astros had planned to activate SP Hunter Brown for Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, it turns out that the Astros also intend to activate C Yainer Diaz as well according to MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart:
This would give the Astros back their Opening Day battery and 2 more key contributors to the team in their ace starter and number one catcher.
Astros would reduce the number of players on their IL list from 12 to 10.
