The Astros have designated pitcher Juan Abreu for assignment, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com (via Twitter). The right-hander appeared in seven games for the Astros last season but never saw time on the big league roster in 2012.
Abreu, 27, had a 7.09 ERA with 10.6 K/9 and 6.7 BB/9 in 38 appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City this season. His Triple-A numbers last season were significantly sharper as he posted a 2.18 ERA with 12.0 K/9 and 5.3 BB/9 in 48 games for the Astros' and Braves' affiliates.
Bad week to be a Designated Abreu.
Bourn was a win for ATL, only Paul Clemmens has a chance of being succesful
Should of Designated Bogesevic instead. He is hitting .210
And Downs
And Schafer
Did the PCL have much to do with Abreau this season?
or Bourne
