"The Astros have placed Rule 5 pick Roddery Muñoz on outright waivers. Players can be placed on waivers while remaining on the 40-man roster but it seems likely that the Astros plan to cut the right-hander."
"If any club claims him, they would also be bound by the Rule 5 parameters. If he clears waivers, he would have to be offered back to the Reds, who could assign him to the minors without putting him on the 40-man roster."
Roddery Muñoz, a Rule 5 pick, has been placed on outright waivers by the Astros. This move indicates the team's intention to cut the right-hander. If another club claims him, they must adhere to Rule 5 regulations. Should he clear waivers, the Astros are required to offer him back to the Reds, who can then assign him to the minors without including him on their 40-man roster.
