Jose Altuve - MRI results reassuringAltuve said that MRI results showed a "minor" issue with his left oblique Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactAltuve also noted that the results were better than he was expecting. While he didn't comment on a possible return timeline, he expressed optimism about returning shortly after the All-Star break. The 33-year-old second baseman tweaked his left oblique during batting practice Tuesday and was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday (retroactive to Tuesday).

Ronel Blanco - Officially promotedThe Astros recalled Blanco from Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of his start Thursday against Seattle.

ImpactBlanco was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll come right back to the majors to make another start after Framber Valdez's (ankle) start was pushed back to Saturday and Cristian Javier's turn was skipped. Blanco holds a 4.70 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 23 innings across his last four starts. His return will push Parker Mushinski to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

David Hensley - Returns to majorsHensley was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

ImpactHensley managed just a .403 OPS in 26 games earlier this season with the Astros and wasn't great at Sugar Land, either, with just a .700 OPS. Houston needs some infield protection, though, with Jose Altuve (oblique) going down and Hensley can provide that.

Jose Altuve - Lands on ILThe Astros placed Altuve on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left oblique discomfort.

ImpactAfter tweaking his oblique during batting practice Tuesday, Altuve will officially be sidelined through the All-Star break. The move is retroactive to July 4, so Altuve will be eligible to return as soon as the break is over. Mauricio Dubon will presumably handle second base while Altuve is out, and David Hensley was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to fill Altuve's roster spot.
