Astros Outright Zack Short
Briefly

Luis Short has been sent outright to Triple-A Sugar Land after clearing waivers. He was designated for assignment due to the Astros' roster changes, including the re-entry of Jeremy Peña from the IL and the acquisition of Carlos Correa and Ramón Urías. Short appeared in 22 games, hitting .220 with two home runs and a high strikeout rate. His move to Triple-A offers the Astros depth, while Luis Guillorme's recent abrupt release raises questions about his future, despite strong defensive capabilities in the infield.
