According to Mark Berman of Fox 26, the Astros have designated for assignment 1B/ DH. Tyler White.
The pitching deprived Astros have called up Jose Urquidy to the 25-man roster to replace him. Urquidy will start tomorrow’s game.
White has seven days to pass through waivers. Chandler Rome explains all the possibilities here:
The Astros have seven days to either trade Tyler White or pass him through waivers. If White goes unclaimed on waivers, he will either be outrighted back to an Astros minor league affiliate or released
White slashed .225/.320/.330 with 74 strikeouts in 253 plate appearances— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) July 20, 2019After hitting 12 home runs in only 66 games last year, the Astros relied on him to provide similar punch from the DH position this year.
