The Astros have traded outfielder Jason Bourgeois and catcher Humberto Quintero to the Royals in exchange for minor league lefthander Kevin Chapman and a player to be named.
"We felt this was a good opportunity to trade a couple guys where we had depth for a couple of guys for the future," Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said.
Kansas City was in need of a catcher after Sal Perez underwent knee surgery that will likely keep him out until midseason.
