Astros Outright Cesar Salazar to Triple-A

Salazar heads to Triple-A after the Astros designated him for assignment and he cleared waivers. The backstop has hit .056 going 1-for-18 with one RBI since his May call-up to replace injured Yainer Diaz. Despite defensive skills, the 30-year-old owns a career .189 batting average. It is the second time Houston has outrighted him this season.
