Pushed off 40-man The Astros designated Contreras for assignment Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Astros sent Contreras down to Triple-A on Sunday, and he'll now be stripped of his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Enyel De Los Santos, who signed a major-league deal with the team on Thursday. Contreras carries a 6.75 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 12 innings in the big leagues this season, but his 3.34 ERA in the minors may be enough for another team to take a chance on him.

Officially promoted The Astros recalled Contreras from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Just 24 hours after being optioned to Triple-A, Contreras will return to Houston to act as the roster replacement for Spencer Arrighetti, who was sent to the IL on Tuesday with a broken thumb. Contreras has given up 11 earned runs in just 11.1 career innings in the majors, so he'll almost certainly be limited to low-leverage situations for now.
