Expected back in late April Leon (knee) is expected to be ready to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land in late April, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Leon was limited to just one game in spring training due to a Grade 1 MCL strain suffered in late February. He's coming along in his rehab and is nearly game-ready. Barring an unexpected need in the Astros' outfield, Leon is likely to be optioned back to Sugar Land once he's done rehabbing.

Will undergo MRI on knee Leon will undergo an MRI on his injured left knee, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Getting call-up Tuesday The Astros are expected to promote Leon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Leon will join the Astros' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Joey Loperfido, who was dealt to the Blue Jays on Monday. The 26-year-old has posted big numbers in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season, batting .297 with 19 home runs and 23 stolen bases over 424 plate appearances with Sugar Land. With the Astros struggling to settle on a permanent replacement in right field for the injured Kyle Tucker (shin), Leon could have a chance to take hold of an everyday role in the Houston outfield in the short term.
