The Astros called up Stubbs (ankle) from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Stubbs hasn't played for Sugar Land since Aug. 19 due to a right ankle sprain, but the Astros' decision to bring him up from the minors implies the team doesn't have much concern about the injury. At the very least, Stubbs is in better health that fellow catcher Jason Castro (knee), whom Houston moved to the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Stubbs will serve as the No. 2 catcher behind Martin Maldonado while Castro is on the shelf.
