Roster Moves

The Astros announced today that LHP Brett Oberholtzer will be called up from Oklahoma City and LHP Dallas Keuchel will be sent down to Oklahoma City. This is most likely due to a stretched bullpen as the Astros starters have failed to get out of the first inning in three of the last five games. Since Keuchel just pitched yesterday, the Astros probably want a spare lefty to take over for Eric Bedard today if needed. I don't imagine that Oberholtzer will stick this go around unless he simply blows the front office away during this opportunity, his first in the bigs.

Here is my July 2012 interview with Oberholtzer as well as an August 2012 profile I wrote up on him that may help you get to know him a little better.
