Astros Plug Lefty Hitter Velázquez | Houston News
Description
Houston’s struggling outfield gets a lefty-special boost with the waiver claim of Nelson Velázquez, a right-handed hitter who crushes lefties with a career .888 OPS against them — perfect for manager Espada’s platoon strategy. After being DFA’d by St. Louis with middling stats, Velázquez brings elite lefty numbers and could be the missing piece to fix Houston’s dead-last offense. Infielder Shay Whitcomb is out the way to make room.
