Josh Fields, Jonathan Villar and Joe Thatcher rejoin the Astros to strengthen the club.
The Astros added depth to the club today, calling up three players to rejoin the squad on the first day of roster expansion. Josh Fields, Jonathan Villar and Joe Thatcher are all active and available for game action tonight.
Fields provided stellar work out of the bullpen throughout the season before a brief demotion to the minors. He's struck out almost 12 batters per nine innings this season with a 2.20 ERA and .951 WHIP.
