SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press
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.
AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.

MAY 5, 2025 • FOX SPORTS
Astros' Yordan Alvarez placed on IL with right hand inflammation
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.
MAY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sent back to minors The Astros optioned Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Salazar was recalled when rosters expanded to serve as the Astros' third catcher, but he's being sent back out for now. He struck out in his lone plate appearance during his brief stint in the majors.
SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled Sunday The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.
Impact Salazar will join the Astros as catching depth with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday. He's unlikely to see much playing time while Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini remain healthy.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled Sunday The Astros recalled Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.
Impact Salazar will join the Astros as catching depth with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players Sunday. He's unlikely to see much playing time while Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini remain healthy.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.
