The Astros made a series of roster moves today, including the promotion of . They also recalled outfielder , a move that was relayed last night by Ari Alexander of KPRC 2. To open active roster spots for those two, catcher was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hip flexor strain, retroactive to June 20, and right-hander was optioned to Triple-A. To open a 40-man spot for Blo s, right-hander was designated for a signment. Henley, 27, was selected to the clubs roster in April. The Astros were scrambling to fill their rotation at the time due to injuries. and were each part of the planned Opening Day rotation but both started the season on the injured list. Then Solomon Hill Jersey had some elbow sorene s pop up, which prompted the club to turn to Henley and give him his major league debut. Unfortunately, he didnt get the storybook version of getting to the show. His first and thus far only major league start saw him record just one out while surrendering five earned runs on four hits and three walks. He was optioned back to the minors after that and has been pitching in Triple-A since then. His numbers for Sugar Land havent been especially impre sive. In his 13 starts, he has a 4.50 earned run average but might even be lucky to have that. His 19.2% strikeout rate and 13.2% walk rate are both a few points worse than average and he has stranded 76% of baserunners despite allowing ten home runs, which leads to a 6.69 FIP at that level this year. The Astros will now have one week to trade Henley or pa s him through waivers. The results this year havent been great but hes a former seventh-round pick with a full slate of options. Tommy John surgery wiped out most of his 2021-22 seasons before he returned to the mound last year. He logged 106 2/3 innings at Double-A last year with a 5.06 ERA, 22.3% strikeout rate, 11.1% walk rate and 51.2% ground ball rate. Players with a previous career outright or three years of service time can reject an outright a signment in favor of free agency. Henley doesnt qualify on either count and would therefore stick with the Astros if he were pa sed through waivers unclaimed. Brandon Ingram Jersey
