SAN DIEGO -- The Houston Astros placed infielder Geoff Blum on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow injury and recalled outfielder Jason Bourgeois from Triple-A Round Rock.

Blum felt his elbow pop while putting on his shirt following Thursday night's game. The team elected to put him on the DL on Sunday.

Bourgeois had been optioned to Round Rock on Friday to make room on the roster for shortstop Angel Sanchez, who was acquired from Boston.
