As long as he got into Chicago yesterday... Why waste a full day of service time to have him not play?
Looks like Buchanan was sent down for Valaquez. Will be interesting to see if they hold onto an additional utility player or send someone down. I see the options are sending down Villar, Gonzales or Tucker (trying Villar out as the utility outfielder if Tucker is sent down). Villar has made things tough by playing well at the plate over the last month. I could see Marwin and Tucker both going up and down every couple weeks depending on who is playing better.

Sending down Villar would be the popular choice. He seems to make at least one mistake every game. It may not seem like it, but going back to May 6 he has posted a very productive .823 OPS.
Does the uptick in offensive output outweigh the terrible defense? As a utility infielder, I say nope.
See, I was under the impression that the Astros were giving the Rangers false hope. Now, with Correa up, the Astros are going to leave them in the dust. As it should be.
