The Houston Astros have announced that they are adding outfielder Myles Straw to the MLB roster. Straw is expected to make his MLB debut tonight, after stealing 70 bases between Double-A and Triple-A this year. To make room on the 40-man roster, they move Jandel Gustave to the 60-day DL. With the Fresno Grizzlies still playing in the Triple-A Championship Series, this was not an expected move.
This could indicate that they may keep George Springer out of action for a few games. Last night, following a diving catch attempt, Springer left the game with shoulder soreness.
