Astros activated OF Justin Maxwell from the 15-day disabled list. Maxwell, out since April 23 with a fractured hand, hit .128 (5-for-39) with one home run and five RBI in 11 rehab games between Double- and Triple-A. The 29-year-old is expected to return as a member of the starting lineup, but Astros manager Bo Porter has indicated that he may see playing time in a corner outfield spot, as he likes what Brandon Barnes brings defensively in center field.
