The Houston Astros came into Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles trying to avoid a sweep after dropping the first game 10-3. Despite that, manager Joe Espada stuck with his plan and gave both Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve the day off, a decision that easily could have gone the other way.

The White Sox designated Dustin Harris for assignment to make room for Sam Antonacci, but the Houston Astros quickly claimed him, turning a questionable roster move into a potential loss of offensive depth.

The Houston Astros made a roster move on Saturday by claiming outfielder Dustin Harris off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. The move came before Houston continued its home series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Overshadowed by bigger moves, Chicago’s minor-league signing of Dustin Harris fits a broader offseason strategy built on athleticism, upside, and opportunity.
