The Astros have decided to not bring up another reliever in Wade LeBlanc's absence and have instead called up both Jake Elmore and Brett Wallace.
Elmore is hitting .300/.383/.434 and gives the Astros flexibility in the middle infield while Wallace - hitting .326/.398/.554 (.355/.406/.559 in June) - gives the Astros another option at 3B with the occasional 1B start, as well.
Let's hope that Wallace can improve on his .042/.115/.042 line in his first 26 PAs this season with Houston.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
