On Friday, ahead of their series vs the Tigers out in Detroit, the Houston Astros made several roster moves.
First, they claimed right-handed pitcher Alex Speas off waivers from the Oakland A’s, and optioned him to Sugar Land. In return, they designated Corey Julks for assignment to make room for Speas on the 40-man roster.
In addition, the Astros optioned Jacob Amaya to Triple A Sugar Land and reinstated infielder Grae Kessinger from the 10-day IL.
