Astros Claim Mark Hamburger Off Waivers

By Zachary Links | July 21, 2012 at 2:10pm CDT

Astros GM Jeff Luhnow announced that the Astros have claimed right-hander Mark Hamburger off waivers from the Padres, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com (via Twitter).  San Diego designated the 25-year-old for assignment on Thursday.

Hamburger was designated for assignment twice inside of 30 days with the Rangers also DFA'ing him in June.  The right-hander owns a career 3.99 ERA and 8.1 K/9 rate in 198 minor league games.

    Astros acquire Hamburger from Padres off Waivers would have been a misleading title.

    Legally, they can’t refer to his stuff as “filthy” without violating at least 14 health codes.

    Thank you, folks, you’re far too kind. I’ll be here all night. Or at least until Starbucks closes.
