Federowicz went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 11-4 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz's two-run double in the fourth inning were the first runs he's driven in as a member of the Astros. He's played in three of four games since being called up from Triple-A Fresno and should be with the club as long as it takes Brian McCann to return from right knee surgery. The original estimate was that McCann would need between four and six weeks, however, the catcher told David Barron of the Houston Chronicle that he plans to be back before the end of the season, which suggests a longer term absence. At any rate, Federowicz should get two-to-three starts per week until McCann's back.

Federowicz replaced the injured Max Stassi (hand) in Tuesday's 5-3 over the Rangers. He went went 1-for-3 with a run scored.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi was injured during an at-bat in the first inning, when he took a pitch off his right hand. Enter Federowicz, who had been recalled earlier in the day after Brian McCann (knee) was placed on disabled list. X-rays on Stassi came back negative, but manager A.J. Hinch, a former catcher, may want to give the backstop a day off Wednesday. Evan Gattis can fill in if needed and Federowicz proved his chops while guiding Tuesday's starter, Dallas Keuchel, through seven innings of two-run ball.

Federowicz was added to the Astros' roster Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Federowicz was designated for assignment by the Astros on Friday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet reports.

Federowicz was called up from Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Federowicz signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Monday which includes an invitation to spring training, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz spent the majority of the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Sacramento, hitting a respectable .300/.366/.463 across 77 games with the River Cats. He appeared in just 13 games for the Giants, as Buster Posey and Nick Hundley primarily handled duties behind the dish. With Evan Gattis set to serve as the team's primary DH next season, Federowicz will compete for a role as Houston's backup catcher.

Federowicz was designated for assignment by the Giants on Monday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz was dropped from the 40-man roster to make room for Micah Johnson, who was recently claimed off waivers from the Reds. The 30-year-old backstop hit .231/.286/.692 in 13 at-bats last season. He'll take a spin through waivers to determine his landing spot for next season.

Federowicz entered Tuesday's blowout loss to the Diamondbacks in the fourth inning, going 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bruce Bochy pulled his starters early in the game after the club fell into an 8-0 hole after just two innings, and Federowicz took advantage of the rare playing time for his second homer of the year. The 30-year-old has been used primarily as a pinch-hitter since joining the majors Sept. 1, so there isn't much to see here from a fantasy perspective.
