Astros Minor League Transactions

Despite the prospect of no Minor League Baseball this year, we still have some transaction news to convey and, I'll be honest, it's not pleasant.

We'll update this post as we get more information.

DOMINICAN SUMMER LEAGUE

5/27 - RHP Carlos Manuel Hiraldo assigned to DSL Astros
- Hiraldo, 21, signed on February 24 of this year. There is also another Carlos Hiraldo already in the system, but he is a left-handed pitcher and his middle name is Julio.

RHP Alimber Santa assigned to DSL Astros
- Santa, who turned 17 on May 3, signed on February 28.

LHP Brett Adcock and RHP Justin Ferrell confirmed their releases via Instagram.
