Kata recalled by Houston: The Houston Astros placed second baseman Kazuo Matsui on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained right hamstring and purchased infielder Matt Kata's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday night. The Astros made the move following a 6-1 victory over the Pirates in which Matsui's replacement, rookie Edwin Maysonet, homered while going 4-for-4 and driving in four runs.

Fantasy Analysis
Kata, who was with the Astros during spring training, is scheduled to join them in time for Saturday night's game. He has a .242 average with 12 homers and 58 RBI in 238 career games with the Diamondbacks, Phillies, Rangers and Pirates. He is pretty much just organizational depth and can be ignored in Fantasy.
