HOUSTON — The Houston Astros<\/a> placed outfielder Joey Loperfido<\/a> on the 10-day injured list on Sunday because of a right quad strain.<\/p>\n

In a corresponding move, the Astros recalled right-handed pitcher Jayden Murray from Triple-A Sugar Land.<\/p>\n

Loperfido suffered the injury during Friday’s 9-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>. He is batting .259 with six RBI in 20 games this season.<\/p>\n

Also, the Astros acquired infielder Braden Shewmake from the Yankees for minor league pitcher Wilmy Sanchez. Shewmake has spent the start of the season with the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate in Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n
