The Houston Astros promote versatile infield prospect Shay Whitcomb, 25, to the majors from Triple-A. Whitcomb, a 2020 draft pick, has a strong minor league record with 25 HRs, 26 SBs, and a 122 wRC+ this season. He will likely play as a first baseman, corner outfielder, and DH. Whitcomb's promotion follows Zach Dezenzo's MLB struggles, and the Astros are seeking a right-handed boost for their lineup.
