Astros Farm Report: 4/13

I'm back with an abbreviated Farm Report today ...

WISHING A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

4-13: RHP Enrique Chavez (20)
4-17: OF Nestor Tejada (19)

TRANSACTIONS/ROSTER MOVES

Over the last few days, several of our missing-in-action Astros minor leaguers showed up on the DL, including LHP Chris Cotton, RHP Gonzalo Sanudo, RHP Christian Powell, RHP Agapito Barrios and OF James Ramsay. Other transactions include:

4/12: 3B/1B Matt Duffy optioned from Houston to Fresno
4/12: RHP Edgardo Sandoval assigned from Greeneville to Corpus Christi
4/12: RHP David Schmidt assigned from Tri-City to Corpus Christi
4/11: LHP Zac Person assigned from Tri-City to Quad Cities
4/11: LHP Evan Grills activated from the Lancaster DL
4/10: RHP Andrew Walter placed on Lancaster 7-day DL retroactively
4/10: RHP Danny Reynolds claimed off waivers by the Angels
4/7: LHP Albert Minnis placed on the Corpus Christi 7-day DL

For why the move of Sandoval to Corpus Christi isn't a huge surprise and why the move of Schmidt is, see what I wrote about the two in the 2016 Houston Farm System Handbook.
