Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Dispatched to Triple-A
Dezenzo was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.
Dezenzo had a max exit velocity of 109.1 mph and hit one homer in 55 plate appearances with the big club, but he was largely overmatched. The hulking 6-foot-4 corner infielder hit .212 with a 32.7 percent strikeout rate and a 5.5 percent walk rate while playing sparingly after an Aug. 6 promotion.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Playing time dwindling
Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
It's the third straight game on the bench for Dezenzo, who has started just three of the last nine games and just one of the last seven against right-handed pitching. Yainer Diaz will play first base in Wednesday's series finale, while Victor Caratini will do the catching.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Idle again
Dezenzo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Dezenzo will be on the bench for a second consecutive game as the Astros turn to Yainer Diaz at first base for the first time this season. Since being called up Aug. 6, Dezenzo has a .702 OPS in 22 plate appearances.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: On bench Monday
Dezenzo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
For the first time since getting his first big-league call-up last Tuesday, Dezenzo will hit the bench. He had started at first base or designated hitter in each of the previous five contests, going 5-for-21 with a solo home run, a double and a walk. The Astros are expected to continue giving Dezenzo a look in a near-everyday role, but he'll need to keep hitting to build up some job security.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Crushes first career homer
Dezenzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Sox.
Dezenzo's first major-league homer was a 437-foot bomb off Zack Kelly in the eighth inning. Since being promoted Aug. 6, the rookie has started three games at first base and one at designated hitter. He has reached base six times with two extra-base hits and appears to be getting a legitimate chance to receive consistent playing time moving forward.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Hitless in debut
Dezenzo went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Rangers.
Dezenzo had his contract selected from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday and made his big-league debut the same day. He started at designated hitter and batted seventh in the order and could continue to see regular at-bats at a combination of first base and DH for the foreseeable future. Dezenzo's ability to contribute immediately is unclear as he had only 53 plate appearances with Sugar Land, though he has maintained high walk rates paired with some decent pop throughout his time in the minors.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Joining big-league club
The Astros selected Dezenzo's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Dezenzo will make his MLB debut despite having missed the first two months of the season while recovering from a wrist injury and having appeared in merely 11 games at the Triple-A level. While he doesn't have much experience at the highest level of the minors, Dezenzo was highly impressive at Sugar Land following his promotion from Double-A Corpus Christi in late July. Over 53 plate appearances at Triple-A, Dezenzo slashed .391/.472/.739 with four home runs, three stolen bases and an 18.9 percent strikeout rate. The 24-year-old is capable of playing both corner-infield spots, but with Alex Bregman entrenched at third base, Dezenzo will most likely get his first look at the big-league level at first base and designated hitter.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Back in action at Double-A
Dezenzo (wrist) has gone 6-for-21 with a home run and a stolen base in six games since being reinstated from Double-A Corpus Christi's 7-day injured list June 18.
Dezenzo had been on the shelf all season with a wrist injury that dates back to spring training. He received the green light to make his Corpus Christi debut earlier this month after he completed a five-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 24-year-old third baseman is regarded as one of the top hitting prospects in the Houston farm system.
