The Houston Astros are seeing a boost in production from their minor-league arms, as right-handers Hunter Brown, number three ranked prospect, and Nick Hernandez, Sugar Land Native, were both promoted to the Skeeters from the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks.
These two pitchers join a Skeeters’ roster that currently has a few arms on the minor-league 60-day injured list and two others exposed to waivers. The organization made a flurry of moves on Sunday, as they placed Ryan Pressly on the paternity list and recalled Bryan Abreu from the taxi squad.
