The Houston Astros claim utility infielder Jacob Wilson from the Oakland A’s.

With a lack of minor-league infield depth, the Houston Astros claimed Jacob Wilson off waivers from the Oakland A’s. Alex Bregman is back in the lineup for the Sugar Land Skeeters, but with Abraham Toro out of the picture, the Astros added Wilson, who has minor-league options.

As a corresponding move, Tyler Ivey was finally placed on the 60-day injured list, removing him from the 40-man roster. The right-hander service clock will start to tick again, which wasn’t an anticipated move by the front office up to this point.
