Job swap, sports swap:

 

Kinda neat. And while a little weird — you don’t hear a ton about baseball executives becoming football executives and vice-versa — if you’re not on the actual sports operations side of things I presume the skills are pretty comparable. Promote team, sell tickets, make sure ballpark/stadium is functioning, sign checks, avoid doing things like making fun of their opposing players for their psychological problems.

You know, the usual.

Prior to Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Giants, the Astros announced that outfielder Josh Reddick has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a leg infection. Outfielder Jake Marisnick has been recalled from Triple-A Fresno.

Reddick, 31, has only started two games in the last week due to the leg issue, so it makes sense that the Astros would simply put him on the DL to free up the roster spot. He’s hitting .227/.331/.409 with six home runs and 18 RBI in 154 plate appearances this season.

Marisnick, 27, put up a 1.014 OPS in 23 plate appearances with Fresno. His major league numbers this season are much less impressive, batting .141/.151/.282 in 87 trips to the plate.
