The Astros recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Loperfido was optioned last week after recovering from a quad strain, but he's now back in the big leagues to take the roster spot vacated by LaMonte Wade's (hamstring) placement on the injured list. The 27-year-old Loperfido will be among a handful of players in the mix for starts in left field for the Astros.
