Yainer Diaz is about to take some live ABs against a Minor League arm. He missed four or five at-bats with the rainout yesterday at Sugar Land. Astros want him activated tomorrow to catch Hunter Brown.

This would give the Astros back their Opening Day battery and 2 more key contributors to the team in their ace starter and number one catcher.
Astros would reduce the number of players on their IL list from 12 to 10.
