The Houston Astros activated right-handed starter Jose Urquidy and left-handed reliever Blake Taylor from the 10-day injured list on Monday.
They took the active roster spots vacated when the team optioned right-handers Andre Scrubb and Ralph Garza to Triple-A Sugar Land following Sunday’s 7-4 win against the San Diego Padres.
Urquidy, 26, landed on the IL on May 16 with right posterior shoulder discomfort.
