Delgado

The 26-year-old infielder was acquired from the Rays for cash considerations on Wednesday. He has hit .250/.320/.362 with three homers and 24 stolen bases across 61 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. He’ll add depth infield depth and speed off the bench for the Astros.

Delgado was signed to a minor league contract in November after playing for the Brewers’ organization last season. The 26-year-old is hitting .250/.320/.362 with three home runs and 24 steals in 61 Triple-A plate appearances. He will provide organizational depth for the Astros.

Delgado was solid in Triple-A Nashville while a member of the Brewers’ organization with a .281/.363/.378 slash while compiling 40 stolen bases across 125 games. The 25-year-old could win a spot with Tampa Bay as a utility player, but is just as likely — if not more so — to open the season in Triple-A Durham.

Delgado had just two homers and one triple in 103 games this season before managing one of each last night. The 24-year-old is batting .265/.344/.352 in his first year in the Brewers system. He’s a solid enough defensive shortstop to perhaps be employed as a stopgap injury replacement in the majors someday, but he doesn’t offer much in the way of offensive upside.

The 24-year-old singled off of Noah Cameron with one out in the third inning, swiped second base, took third on an overthrow and scored the Brewers’s first run on a sacrifice bunt. Delgado also led off the fifth inning with a walk and took second base, but was ultimately doubled off of third base as Vinny Capra lined out to Jonathan India. Delgado has looked good this spring, hitting .286 (6-for-21) with a homer, two RBI and a pair of stolen bases.
