The Astros placed Caratini (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After taking multiple foul balls off his mask over the past several days, Caratini entered concussion protocol Wednesday and will now officially miss at least a week of action. Cesar Salazar was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to fill in as Houston's backup catcher, though he will get the start behind home plate Wednesday while top backstop Yainer Diaz manages a hand injury.
