McTag tweet says Worth will be recalled today.  My guess is White gets demoted.  40-man roster move, no clue.

DFA Gomez?  It's almost Christmas, isn't it?

My money is on White.  Odd though, just as Worth started to cool off he gets called up.  40 man move has easy choices on it: Fontana, Chapman, Duffy, Alfredo Gonzalez

And the answer is Luke Gregerson (https://twitter.com/astros/status/742797151693070336)

Roster moves:
Danny Worth selected to ML roster
Juan Minaya designated for assignment
Luke Gregerson placed on family medical emergency list

 So will Worth play 3B, with Valbuena moving to 1B?

I would think he'll be Marwin's backup and pinch hitter with them playing NL ball this week.

Sure hope all is ok for Gregerson's family. Didn't they have health complications with a baby last year?

Last years' absence was definitely pregnancy-related.

Exactly.  The timing of the move is almost certainly intended to give them more flexibility with PH/defensive replacement options.  And if the bullpen gets overtaxed, that is when we will see White down and another pitcher up (at least if Gregerson is out for more than a day or three).
