Cam Smith - Drives in two runs in return Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Smith was held out of the Astros' lineup for the past two games due to an illness, but he was given the green light to return Sunday. He made his impact felt in the seventh inning with a two-run double, which ended up being the only runs Houston scored. Smith is slashing .246/.326/.365 with three steals, three home runs and 20 RBI across 187 plate appearances this season but has a 29.4 percent strikeout rate as the rookie third baseman continues to get acclimated to major-league level pitching.

Brandon Walter - Earns quality start in no-decision Walter allowed two runs on six hits while striking out five across six innings, but he did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Guardians. He did not issue a walk.
Impact Walter was promoted from Triple-A Sugar Land to make his second major-league start of the season. He put the Astros behind after yielding a two-run homer to Bo Naylor in the second, but Walter kept the Guardians off the board the rest of the way and retired the last 10 batters he faced. Per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, the Astros plan on using a six-man rotation during their stretch of 13-straight games, which puts Walter in line to make his next start against the Twins at home next weekend.

Victor Caratini - Getting Sunday off Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact With Jeremy Pena getting a day off from playing shortstop but staying in the starting nine at designated hitter, the Astros won't have a lineup spot available for Caratini. The 31-year-old has been a near-everyday player for Houston following Yordan Alvarez's (hand) placement on the injured list May 5 and is batting .272/.333/.383 with two home runs, eight RBI and five runs since that date.

Impact Altuve started the previous 25 games but will receive Sunday off after going 0-for-5 in Saturday's contest. Even with that hitless showing, the 35-year-old still has a .328/.347/.552 slash line with five homers in his past 17 games. Shay Whitcomb is manning the keystone Sunday for the Astros.

Forrest Whitley - DFA'd by Houston The Astros designated Whitley for assignment on Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander was unavailable for most of the first two-plus months of the season due to a pair of knee injuries, and he's been ineffective when available with 10 earned runs allowed across 7.1 innings. Whitley, who was a first-round pick in 2016, could receive some interest on waivers given his prospect pedigree.

Brandon Walter - Promoted for Sunday's start The Astros recalled Walter from Triple-A Sugar Land to start Sunday's game against the Guardians, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The left-hander is joining the Astros for a spot start Sunday to give Lance McCullers some extra rest between outings. Walter made his season debut for the Astros on May 20 in Tampa Bay and covered five scoreless frames, and he's enjoyed a dominant campaign at Sugar Land with a 2.08 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB across 47.2 innings.
