Sent back to Triple-A
Houston optioned Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact
With Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini at full health, Salazar is expendable. He'll lose his spot on the active roster in order for Zach Cole to have his contract selected. Salazar is 3-for-13 (.231) with a 2:2 BB:K in 11 big-league games this season.

Recalled from Sugar Land
The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact
The Astros have not yet announced a corresponding roster move. Salazar was up with the big club briefly earlier this season, going 1-for-7 at the dish.

Sent to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Salazar has been up with the Astros as a third catcher since early May, though he's played in just eight games and gone 1-for-7 during his two-plus months in the majors. The 29-year-old is likely to stick with Sugar Land as long as Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini stay healthy.

Set for recall
The Astros will recall Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Monday's game in Milwaukee, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact
It's not yet clear what the corresponding move for Salazar will be. The 29-year-old has hit only .197/.305/.310 in his first 21 games this season with Sugar Land.

Sent to Triple-A
Salazar was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini are locked in as Houston's top catchers, so it's no surprise Salazar will be opening the campaign at Triple-A. The 29-year-old had a .787 OPS in 12 games with the Astros last season and had a near-identical .788 mark in 78 contests for Sugar Land.

Back in big leagues
The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.
Impact
Salazar will rejoin the big-league squad to provide the Astros with an additional bench bat as Ben Gamel (fibula) moves to the injured list. Salazar has gone 7-for-23 with eight RBI through 10 games in the majors, but he may struggle to receive playing time while acting as Houston's No. 3 catcher.

Sent back to minors

Impact

Optioned to Sugar Land
The Astros optioned Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for Victor Caratini (hip), who was activated off the 10-day injured list Monday. Salazar has served as the backup catcher since he was initially called up June 11, and across nine major-league games he went 7-for-22 with two doubles and eight RBI. In Triple-A this season, Salazar is slashing .274/.387/.458 with six home runs and 35 RBI across 204 plate appearances.
