The Houston Astros have signed another international prospect, inking infielder Sami Manzueta for a bonus of $850,000. Manzueta is an 16-year-old infielder from Venezuela with Dominican roots.

Francys Romero reported the signing and noted that Manzueta shows great power and contact skills. He also noted he is the same height/weight and tool profile as Alex Bregman.

Luis Rodriguez off to a hot start, Raimy Rodriguez posts best career outing

Last year, the Astros acquired pitcher Luis Rodriguez in a trade that sent Julks to Chicago. Since the trade, Rodriguez has been nearly unhittable. In six outings this season, the right-hander has a 1.33 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 27 innings.

Rodriguez, who made his full-season debut last year at 18-years-old, turned in his best professional outing on Thursday. The right-hander tossed 5 no-hit innings while racking up 8 strikeouts. He also generated 15 swings and misses in that outing.
