Moving Paredes to the IL wasn't the only move the Astros made Sunday. The team also optioned catcher Cesar Salazar to triple-A Sugar Land. That opened two roster spots, and the Astros filled them by recalling infielder Shay Whitcomb and calling up veteran and recent re-signee Jon Singleton.

With Yordan Alvarez still sidelined, the Astros have a need they want to secure before the trade deadline approaches.
