Victor Caratini

Diaz will get a night off; one of several regulars who are not in the lineup. Victor Caratini will be the catcher for Spencer Arrighetti while Diaz rests. Brendan Rodgers, Cam Smith and Jake Myers also will get a rest and will be replaced in the lineup by Chas McCormick, Mauricio Dubon and Zach Dezenzo.

Salazar is 7-for-19 with two homers and eight RBI this spring. The 28-year-old ought to be some team's No. 2 catcher, but he's stuck behind Yainer Diaz and Victor Caratini in Houston, and it's doubtful the Astros will carry three catchers initially. He'll probably be stuck in Triple-A again, since the Astros value the depth too much to just give him away.
