The Houston Astros acquired minor league infielder Raynel Delgado from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations, with Delgado assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land.
The move is a direct response to two consecutive infield injuries that have thinned Houston's upper-level depth.
Nick Allen went on the injured list with a hamstring strain last week. Braden Shewmake followed with an adductor strain. Both are unavailable, leaving the Astros short on versatile infield options at the Triple-A level. ...
For the second time in three nights, it would require extra innings. This time however, the Astros wouldn’t be as fortunate as they were 48 hours earlier in the series opener, dropping the finale to the Angels by a score of 3-2. Former Astro Jose Siri would deliver the final blow with an […]
