Fans hoping the Astros would add top pitching prospect Forrest Whitley to the roster in September may end up disappointed. While the hope at the beginning of the season was that Whitley could help the team in the second half, things haven’t gone the way Whitley or the team would have liked.
For starters, he got shelled at Triple-A Round Rock before landing on the Injured List and taking time off to rehab. He’s spent the month of August with Double-A Corpus Christi, and while he’s been better than he was at Round Rock, there’s still work to be done.
