The Houston Astros have signed right-handed pitcher Jordan Weems to a minor league deal to add depth to their bullpen. Weems, previously released by the Atlanta Braves, had recorded a 5.09 ERA in Triple-A this year, with striking metrics showing both challenges and strengths. Despite recent struggles, including a rough 2023 season with a high ERA and walk rate, he brings valuable experience from pitching for the Nationals in 2022 and 2023. This move demonstrates the Astros' strategy of reinforcing their roster with experienced players to mitigate potential injury risks in the upcoming seasons.
Signed to a minor league deal, Jordan Weems aims to provide the Astros with added depth in their already strong bullpen, following a challenging stretch.
After being released by Atlanta, Weems faced inconsistency on the mound, but has previous major league experience that could serve the Astros well.
