HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros announced today that the club has placed third baseman Morgan Ensberg on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder contusion, retroactive to July 10. To take Ensberg's place on the 25-man roster, the Astros have recalled outfielder Luke Scott from Triple-A Round Rock.

Ensberg, 30, is batting .236 this season with 19 home runs and 44 RBIs. He ranks third in the National League with 68 walks, and he ranks second among NL third basemen in home runs and sixth in slugging (.500). He posted a career-best, 10-game hitting streak from April 13-23. Ensberg holds a career .272 average with 93 home runs and 290 RBIs.

Scott, 28, was batting .299 for Round Rock this season with a Pacific Coast League-leading 20 home runs and 63 RBIs (second in the PCL). He batted .360 in June, with six home runs and 19 RBIs, and he is batting .324 vs. left-handed pitchers. Scott was a Triple-A All-Star and started in left field (0-2) for the PCL in the game Wednesday in Toledo, Oh. This season marked his second on the Astros 40-man roster. He started in left field on Opening Day in 2005 and played in 34 games for the Astros last year.

      Juneteenth!

      Don’t think that qualifies, Mat. You was just po’d because the bank was closed. Would’ve been the same if you had forgotten it was Presidents Day, right?

      Which district has "shown unwillingness to build a championship program"?

      And just for the record, there's a difference between running from competition and moving to another district because the one you are currently in has shown an unwillingness to build a championship program. Figured I'd clarify that before it came up.

      I will never understand the mindset of a parent who thinks teaching their kid to run from competition is what is "best for the kid". Stay and fight it out, if you lose the position, find somewhere else to contribute and help the team. This soft azz mindset is what is wrong with the younger generation and it's not even the kids fault. I am old enough to remember when football was a game that taught life concepts and grew boys into men. Now, it's just like every other sport and treated like a meal ticket for parents, regardless of what the underlying consequences of those decisions may be. Everyone looks for quick returns on investment instead of working to prepare these kids for the tough breaks in life. Makes me sad.

      I pulled into the bank drive-through to cash a check yesterday. Couldn’t figure out why they were closed. About an hour later I realized it was because of Juneteenth. Kind of ticked me off. I just wanted to cash a check. Hope that doesn’t make me racist.🤔
