Astros reassigned OF Lucas Spence and C Walker Janek to minor league camp.

Nothing to see here as neither player was ever going to be a serious candidate to make the Astros’ Opening Day roster. Spence, 23, slashed .244/.368/.403 with 10 homers, 55 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 509 plate appearances across three minor league levels in 2025, finishing up at Double-A Corpus Christi.

Walker Janek singled, walked twice, stole three bases and scored three times versus the Cardinals on Thursday.

Janek, the Astros’ first-round pick two years ago, is 3-for-5 with a double, three walks and four steals this spring. Last year, he was 30-for-32 stealing bases in High-A ball, so even though his bat remains something of a question mark, he’s an intriguing fantasy prospect as he aims to become a starting catcher in the bigs a couple of years down the line.
