Infielder Jacob Amaya, traded to the Astros in April, has been designated for assignment after appearing in one game this season.
The Astros announced several roster changes on Sunday, including designating infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment.
The 25-year-old posted a .221/.308/.330 slash line across 302 plate appearances this season, split between the Triple-A affiliates of the Astros and Marlins.-- Kaleb Ort reinstated from paternity listAmaya’s season has been eventful, to say the least. He began with the Marlins’ Triple-A Jacksonville affiliate, but after just three games, Miami designated him for assignment. This left him in a state of uncertainty, spending a week in a Durham, N.C., hotel, waiting for his next move.
Amaya spent the majority of 2023 playing for Triple-A Jacksonville, batting .252 with 26 doubles, two triples, 15 home runs, 65 RBI, and a .752 OPS in 128 games.. "But coming to a winning organization, that’s everything. So I just stayed ready." Amaya provided the Astros with much-needed depth at second base, shortstop, and third base, as Jose Altuve, Jeremy Peña, and Alex Bregman had played nearly every game of the season.
