Houston Astros Demote Struggling Former Top Rookie To Open Spot For Ace
The Houston Astros will get their ace back from injury this weekend, but they had to move one of their former top rookies down after his early struggles.
It was another tough result for the Houston Astros on Thursday when they were swept by the Chicago Cubs.
They have now dropped to 7-19 on the season, their worst start in roughly 50 years, and are firmly in last place of the AL West.
It’s a broken record by now, but it can’t be understated just how much their struggles have come from injuries to their pitching staff as they’ve had to cycle through multiple players from their minor league roster.
