Astros optioned OF Shay Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land; Reassigned INFs Jax Biggers and Riley Unroe to minor league camp.

Whitcomb, 27, always faced an uphill battle at securing a bench spot on the Astros’ Opening Day roster. He wound up hitting .263 (5-for-19) with zero homers, four RBI, two stolen bases and a 7/2 K/BB ratio across 21 plate appearances during Cactus League play. He should get an opportunity with the big league club at some point during the 2026 campaign.
