The Astros welcome back Tatsuya Imai following a one-month absence due to arm fatigue.
The Houston Astros signed pitcher Tatsuya Imai to a three-year, $54 million contract that included opt-out options after each season. Following the end of Houston's season, there had been rampant speculation that he could choose to opt out after only one year with the club.
That decision has been reached, and Astros fans have their answer. According to MLB Insider Jon Heyman, Imai will not be opting out of his contract.
