Sneed

Sneed spent parts of the last two seasons with the Astros but has found a better opportunity overseas. Houston now has an additional 40-man roster spot to play with.

This is the same club that signed former Pittsburgh Pirate Jose Osuna recently. Sneed, 28, appeared in 18 games with the Astros in 2020, and he registered a 5.71 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 21/10 K/BB ratio. He’s been an up-and-down arm over the last couple of seasons, and a successful stint in Japan could help improve his stock going forward.

That’s a little different than the initial report from Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle, which stated that Verlander would be shut down for the remainder of the season with a right elbow injury. Still, it could be difficult for the veteran right-hander to make it back given the condensed schedule. He’ll be reevaluated around the middle of August and seems certain to miss at least a month of action. Cristian Javier, Cy Sneed, and Bryan Abreu are among the options to fill the sudden rotation vacancy in Houston.

He’s back. Sneed has now gone back and forth between the majors and minors six times over the last two months. This time he’s up to replace Brad Peacock on the 25-man roster, who was placed on the injured list with renewed shoulder issues. There’s a chance he stick around longer this time, as rosters will expand in September.

Sneed has gone back-and-forth between the majors and minors five times now over the last few months. Sunday’s starter, Framber Valdez, is taking his spot on the roster.

Sneed takes the place of Aaron Sanchez, who hit the injured list on Tuesday night with a right pectoral issue. Sneed, 26, owns a 4.26 ERA and 13/3 K/BB ratio in 12 2/3 innings of relief this year with the Astros.

Sneeds has posted a 4.26 ERA and 13/3 K/BB ratio in 12 2/3 innings this season with Houston. The 26-year-old right-hander will probably be brought back up when MLB rosters expand in September.

Sneed was just sent down Saturday but returns to replace Aledmys Diaz (foot). He’ll work in long relief.

His latest stay in the majors lasted one game. He has had four stints with the big league club this year and got to play in exactly one game in each stint. In total he has allowed six runs in 12 2/3 innings. The rookie will probably be back in Houston for the month of September.

Sneed will return to the Astros’ bullpen ahead of Wednesday’s matinee game against the White Sox. He has posted a 3.75 ERA and 12/3 K/BB ratio in 12 innings of relief this season at the major league level.
