The Houston Astros have announced the following moves to the active roster:
Alexander will slide into a bullpen desperate for fresh arms. He last pitched April 30th, so he is capable of giving the team multiple relief innings if needed.
Harris was 7×31 (.226) with the Astros with a .286 OBP and .576 OPS.
Weiss, after another tough outing yesterday, currently sports a 7.62 ERA and 2.12 WHIP, has just awful numbers and has struggled badly in his last 6 appearances. After allowing only 1 run in his first 3 appearances (covering 6 innings) in which he walked 2 and struck out 7, Weiss has been tagged for multiple runs in each of his six appearances since, inflating his ERA from 1.50 to 7.62. In those 6 outings covering 20 innings, Weiss has allowed 21 ER, 18 walks, and a staggering 7 HR.
