Worth noting

• According to Porter, right hander Brett Oberholtzer was sent down to Oklahoma City after Sunday's game and a corresponding roster move will be made before Friday's game against Seattle. Oberholtzer was recalled on July 2 and only made two appearances. He has not pitched since July 5.

• Brett Wallace has been swinging a solid bat since being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on June 25. The first baseman, who went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer on Saturday, is hitting .296 with four homers, four doubles and 13 RBIs since being called up.

• Porter did not commit to a rotation coming out of the All-Star break other than to say that Bud Norris will get the start on Friday against Seattle.

• Carlos Pena remained in the leadoff spot for Houston on Sunday. He went 1-for-3 with a walk on Saturday.

• The Astros will work out Thursday at Minute Maid Park following the All-Star Break. The workout is expected to be closed to the media.
