Houston Astros
Durango was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros on June 29, and assigned to the Triple-A Oklahoma City RedHawks. After the trades of Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn, the Astros recalled Durango from Triple-A on July 31. In 25 games with the RedHawks, he collected 22 hits for a .278 batting average and stole 13 bases. He made his Astros debut on August 1 against the Cincinnati Reds, going 0–for–2 with a walk. The following game, he got his first hit for the Astros, driving in a run. He was optioned back to Triple-A on August 3. On August 5, to make room for J. B. Shuck on the 40-man roster, Durango was designated for assignment by the Astros. After he cleared waivers, he was outrighted back to Triple-A. He became a free agent at season's end.
