In a Tweet by Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, he reports that Cesar Carrillo has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Astros signed Carrillo to a one-year, $414,000 deal in late February.  It was more a technicality at the time since Carrillo is not eligible for salary arbitration.

The 26-year-old Carrillo last pitched in the Majors with the San Diego Padres.  He has a lifetime 1-2 record in three starts with a 13.06 ERA over 10 1/3 innings pitched.
