| Eric Munson, who was designated for assignment by the Astros yesterday, will likely stay with the organization, according to the official team website. "[I'd like to stay with the Astros] unless something else comes up that seems like a better opportunity, but I can't imagine a better opportunity," Munson said. "They gave me a chance to catch again, which I love to do. I'm thankful that they did that. I like it here, so I really don't see any reason to go anywhere else." |

|
| The Astros designated Eric Munson for assignment Sunday, according to the AP. He hit just .204 with five homers and 19 RBI in 137 at-bats with Houston this year. |

|
| For the time being, Eric Munson will be Brandon Backe's personal catcher, according to the Astros website. Houston has a set of 20 straight games without a day off, and manager Phil Garner wants to get Brad Ausmus some time off. If the Backe/Munson combination works, the Astros will likely stick with it for the rest of the season. |
