Biggers

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.

Biggers spent the first seven seasons of his minor league career in the Rangers’ organization. The 28-year-old slashed an unimpressive 214/.358/.265 with one homer, 24 RBI and a 69/52 K/BB ratio over 295 plate appearances across three minor league levels in 2025. He’ll add infield depth in the upper minors for the Astros.

The versatile 27-year-old was an eighth-round selection by the Rangers from the 2018 draft class and has spent his entire minor league career thus far in their organization. In 2024 he spent the entire year at Triple-A Round Rock where he slashed .275/.390/.382 with three homers, 55 RBI, 12 stolen bases and an 87/71 K/BB ratio over 452 plate appearances. He’ll continue to function as excess infield depth for the Rangers.
