Christian Roa has won a bullpen spot with the Houston Astros.
Roa’s Spring Training Success
Roa came to Astros camp as a non-roster invitee.
He secured his place by allowing only one run during 9.2 Grapefruit League innings. Roa also recorded a 13:0 K:BB ratio in that time.
Contract Selected From Sugar Land
The Astros selected Roa’s contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.
Low-Leverage Role Expected
The righty has only featured in two big-league games. He should be used in low-leverage situations.
