Astros acquired C Luke Berryhill from the Reds for LHP Cionel Perez.
The Astros were forced to make a 40-man roster move in order to make the Michael Brantley signing official, so rather than designating Perez for assignment, they flipped him to the Reds instead. Berryhill, 22, was a 13th round selection of the Reds from the 2019 draft. He’ll add catching depth for the Astros in the lower levels of the minors.
