The Astros made three recent moves that look minor now but will benefit the club soon.
With the Houston Astros‘ bullpen and lineup expecting players’ returns, three recent roster transactions were made. Rehab assignments have been a large topic of discussion, especially with Austin Pruitt and Josh James nearing the ends of theirs.
On the farm, the organization released Hector Velazquez from the Sugar Land Skeeters. There wasn’t a clear cut reason why the veteran pitcher was cut, while he posted a 1.46 ERA through 24.
