Astros Add Depth With Delgado

The Astros just added depth at the infield by acquiring minor-league lefty Raynel Delgado from Tampa Bay in a cash deal—he’s headed straight to Triple-A Sugar Land. At 26, Delgado can play all over the infield, with most of his experience at second and third, and even some first base. The move fills a gap created by injuries to utility infielders Nick Allen (hamstring) and Braden Shewmake (adductor strain), both of whom are sidelined. Manager Joe Espada praised Delgado’s defense and contact ability, making him a smart, versatile addition. Delgado, drafted by Cleveland in 2018 and previously with the Brewers, has solid Triple-A stats and hasn’t yet reached the majors. He joins a roster already stocked with infielders like Shay Whitcomb and Brice Matthews, who’ve also seen time across multiple positions.
