Kemp was officially recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Monday.
As expected, Kemp will come up and assume the roster spot of Preston Tucker, who was optioned following Sunday's game. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Astros designated catcher Erik Kratz for assignment Monday morning. At Triple-A, Kemp has split time between second base and the outfield, but considering the presence of Jose Altuve, Kemp will likely spend most of his time outside of the infield.
