Jacob Wilson - Loses 40-man spotThe Astros outrighted Wilson to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

ImpactHouston exposed Wilson to waivers in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for pitcher Zack Greinke, who is expected to be reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Rangers. The 31-year-old utility man will remain in the organization after none of MLB's other 29 organizations were willing to use a waiver claim on him.

Martín Maldonado - Sitting MondayMaldonado will sit Monday against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactMaldonado continues to handle a very heavy workload behind the plate despite his .171/.272/.296 season slash line. He started 15 of the Astros' last 16 games heading into Monday but will rest here with Garrett Stubbs set to catch Jake Odorizzi.

Yuli Gurriel - Delivers four-hit dayGurriel went 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Angels.

ImpactGurriel broke out of a minor 1-for-13 skid over his previous three starts with a perfect day at the dish in the series finale, lifting his season average back up to a career-high .315. He'll remain in the lineup for Monday's game in Texas, manning first base and batting cleanup.

Michael Brantley - Remains idle MondayBrantley (knee) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Juan Lagares - Hits sixth homerLagares went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Houston.

ImpactThe outfielder's fifth-inning solo shot to center field pulled the Angels into a 1-1 tie, but the offense was unable to muster any additional runs. Though he isn't known as a power hitter, Lagares has gone deep three times in his past eight games. He's batting a meager .182 (4-for-22) over that span, however.

Korey Lee - Returns to Double-A lineupLee (oblique) went 2-for-6 in his first two games with Double-A Corpus Christi since being reinstated from the team's 7-day injured list Thursday.

ImpactLee was sidelined for just under a month with an oblique strain. Since his June 14 promotion from High-A Asheville, Houston's top catching prospect is hitting .263 with eight home runs and 25 RBI in 47 games for the Double-A affiliate.
