Weiss Stays, Astros Pitching Struggles

Houston Astros surprise fans by designating reliever Ryan Weiss for assignment—only for him to clear waivers and stay with the organization, now pitching in Triple-A. Signed for $2.6M after a strong stint in Korea, Weiss logged just 26 innings in the majors, striking out 30 but walking 20. His 95 mph fastball shows promise if he can refine his command. Meanwhile, the Astros’ pitching staff is in turmoil, with multiple starters posting ERAs over 6.00 and ace Hunter Brown sidelined. With Brown returning, Mike Burrows is shifting to the bullpen—his fate may mirror Weiss’s if he doesn’t improve. The Astros’ offense is potent, but without reliable pitching, playoff hopes hang in the balance. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
