Here's the bench as I see it (assuming Ensberg and
Everett are in the starting lineup, which is not a
certainty):

Zaun, C
Hunter, OF, PH, PR
Merced, OF, PH
Vizcaino, IF, PH
Lugo, IF, OF, PR

This leaves one slot (with 11 pitchers). The only
thing about a third catcher, though, is that you'd
like once of the backup catchers to be able to play
somewhere else in the field (1B, 3B and/or LF). SInce
all the Astros catchers are catchers only (out side of
PHing), Ginter has an outside shot as a multiposition
player.
