The Astros recalled Mayfield from their alternate training site Sunday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
He'll assume the active roster spot of outfielder Michael Brantley (quadriceps), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Mayfield will provide depth at second base, third base and shortstop, but he's not expected to see regular at-bats unless one of Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa misses time.
