Astros signed RHP Andrew Marrero to a minor league contract.
The 26-year-old hurler was originally an 18th round selection by the Cardinals from the 2021 draft class. He spent five seasons pitching in the minor leagues for them, most recently posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.99 WHIP and a 47/32 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings at Double-A Springfield during the 2025 season. He’ll add bullpen depth in the upper minors for the Astros.
