Price will take the place of backup catcher César Salazar, who was designated for assignment Thursday.
Wade, who was released by the White Sox Monday, has been in Triple-A all season. His last appearance in the majors came last season when he played 30 games for the Angels. A seven-year MLB veteran, Wade has also played for the Twins and Giants.
He is a career .236 hitter with 55 homers and 185 RBIs.
This is the first promotion to the majors for Price, a sixth-round pick in the 2022 draft. He has hit .235 with 10 homers and 26 RBIs for Triple-A Sugar Land this season.
Also on Thursday, the Astros reinstated outfielder Joey Loperfido from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A and optioned outfielder Zach Cole there, too.
Outfielder Rhylan Thomas was also designated for assignment.
