HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros placed first baseman Christian Walker on paternity leave Monday before the start of a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians.
Walker, who is in his first season with the Astros, is batting .231 with 12 homers and 45 RBIs. He's heated up recently after a slow start and has hit .429 with two homers and eight RBIs in six games this month.
The AL West-leading Astros recalled outfielder Kenedy Corona from Triple-A Sugar Land to take his spot on the roster. The 25-year-old Corona is hitting .228 with six homers and 28 RBIs in the minors this season.
Also Monday, right-hander Jordan Weems cleared waivers and elected free agency.
