Report: Astros to Call Up Rogelio Armenteros

Reports are out that the Astros will call up Rogelio Armenteros to add some depth to a recently overused bullpen ahead of this weekend’s series against Toronto. He will reportedly take the roster spot of Derek Fisher.

The 24 year old Cuban right-hander has yet to throw a pitch in the Big Leagues, but is coming off a stellar 2018 season in which he racked up 134 strikeouts in 118 innings — good for 10.2 K/9 — in AAA. He continued his dominance after the season in the Dominican Winter League where he tossed 23 innings with a 1.17 ERA.

Armenteros is ranked as the 21st prospect in the Astros organization in the most recent Astros Future prospect rankings. He is not a hard thrower, but he has a solid arsenal of pitches that he moves around and mixes well to keep hitters off balance.

Let’s welcome Rogelio Armenteros to Houston!
