Jason Alexander Returns: Astros Add Bullpen Depth, Designate Cody Bolton for Assignment

The Houston Astros have recalled pitcher Jason Alexander from Triple-A Sugar Land, adding depth to their bullpen, particularly for longer relief situations. This is Alexanders third stint with the team this season, with his previous appearances limited to one relief outing each time. Hes primarily been a starter in the minors, so his role in the big league relief corps will be intriguing to watch.

In a corresponding move, the Astros have designated pitcher Cody Bolton for assignment. Bolton, who finished Sundays game against the Rangers, had a less than impressive ERA this season. The team signed him last year as he recovered from injuries sustained in a car accident. With Bolton out of options, the Astros have a week to trade him or place him on waivers. If he clears waivers, he could be sent back to the minors.

These roster changes come as the Astros embark on a ten-game road trip, dealing with injuries such as Jose Altuves oblique strain.
