Chris Corporan delivered a two-run single in the first inning on Friday, leading the Astros to a 2-1 victory over the Rays. Two runs would prove to be more than enough support for Jarred Cosart who was outstanding on the evening. Corporan finished the night 1-for-4. He's done a very nice job in a part-time role for the Astros this season, hitting .282/.350/.450 with five homers and 13 RBI in 110 at-bats.

Carlos Corporan homered and doubled Wednesday in the Astros' 7-5 defeat of the Tigers. The Astros got to Max Scherzer to avoid the sweep in Detroit. Corporan has three homers, all of which have come since April 29. As desperate as the Astros are for offense, they may start having Corporan and Jason Castro play together more frequently, with one serving as the DH. That makes Corporan worth using in two-catcher AL-only leagues.

Carlos Corporan went 4-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in the Astros' 9-1 rout of the Yankees on Monday. The Yankees were coming off a four-game sweep of the Jays, while the Astros were the victims of a four-game sweep in Boston. So, of course this one was a blowout in Houston's favor. Corporan, the backup catcher to Jason Castro, entered with one RBI in seven games this season. His previous career high for RBI was three, accomplished on Sept. 10, 2011 against the Nationals.

Carlos Corporan went 3-for-4 with a pair of homers in the Astros' 7-2 win over the Tigers on Thursday. It was no easy assignment, as Corporan took Justin Verlander and Al Alburquerque deep. He has his average up to .370 in 27 at-bats for the spring. However, the Astros' starting catcher, Jason Castro, has been even hotter, suggesting that Corporan isn't going to be earning himself any more playing time with his performance.

Astros optioned catcher Carlos Corporan to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Corporan did a nice job filling in with Jason Castro on the shelf, posting an OPS near .800 in limited duty. The 28-year-old backstop should be back when rosters expand in September.

Carlos Corporan went 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBI, helping to lead the Astros to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Brewers on Friday. Corporan got the Astros on the board with an RBI single in the fifth inning, then pulled them to within 3-2 with a solo shot off Francisco Rodriguez in the eighth, setting the stage for a dramatic walkoff victory. Corporan has done a tremendous job in limited at-bats, hitting .298 with three homers and nine RBI in 47 at-bats, and could be worth a look as a second catcher in deeper mixed leagues if he starts to earn more playing time.

Astros purchased the contract of C Carlos Corporan from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Corporan has batting .273/.339/.422 with five homers over 51 games for Oklahoma City this season. He's starting Sunday but will be Chris Snyder's back while Jason Castro is out.
