Roster Moves - 3/27

In addition to the minor league roster cuts previously announced, the Astros also cut LHP Zach Duke and OF Jack Cust, bringing the players in big league camp down to 38.  The number of players on the 40-man roster will go down to 36 when Sergio Escalona is put on the 60-day DL as he undergoes Tommy John surgery.  There will be plenty of room to add Livan Hernandez and Brian Bixler (who I believe has to be in the mix as a right-handed bench player) to the 40-man roster if they make the team out of camp.  Zachary Levine has the story here.

UPDATED TO ADD:  Shows you what I know, Bixler was sent to minor league camp this morning, along with Angel Sanchez, Scott Moore, and Enerio del Rosario.  Joe Thurston was released.  That leaves 33 in big league camp.
