Astros recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Whitcomb gets the call to replace an injured Nick Allen (hamstring) on Houston’s bench. The versatile 27-year-old has gone 2-for-17 with one round-tripper and four RBI in 14 games at the big-league level this season. He’s always been an intriguing talent, and has posted some huge power/speed combo numbers at the Triple-A level, but it’s never really come together at the highest level.

Nick Allen has been scratched from Saturday’s lineup against the Cardinals.

The Astros announced that Allen is available to play, so it appears that Houston just wants to add some more offense into the lineup for Saturday’s game. Carlos Correa will move to shortstop, and Shay Whitcomb will handle third base and hit ninth in Allen’s absence.

Astros recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Whitcomb was mostly playing third base in Triple-A, but he has some outfield experience if the Astros want to him out there against lefties on occasion. The 27-year-old is a lifetime .262/.341/.493 hitter in 314 Triple-A games, but he’s come in at just .173/.235/.253 in 81 plate appearances in the majors.

Astros optioned INF/OF Shay Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Whitcomb’s latest stint with the Astros wound up lasting just a few days while Isaac Paredes was away from the club on bereavement leave. The 27-year-old has put up some big-time numbers at the Triple-A level, and offers a ton of defensive versatility, but he’s struggled to gain any sort of traction at the highest level.

Astros recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Whitcomb was hitting .308/.333/.577 with two homers and two steals in six Triple-A games, though he had struck out 10 times already. Perhaps he’ll get a start against a lefty while Isaac Paredes is on the bereavement list.
