Catcher/outfielder Cooper Hummel, whom the Astros designated for assignment last week, went unclaimed on outright waivers and has been assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land, per the team's transaction log at MLB.com. He hasn't been outrighted before and doesn't have three years of MLB service, so Hummel can't reject the assignment. He'll remain in the organization as a depth piece.
Given that standout production in the upper minors and his unusual blend of defensive versatility, Hummel makes a nice depth option for the Astros to be able to stash in Triple-A.
