Astros Call Up Pitcher, Trade for Infielder

0:00It's April 19th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is MLB News Today Baseball News powered by AI. Houston Astros just put outfielder Joey Lopper Fido on the 10-day injured list with a right-quatch dream. That move opened the door for them to call up right-handed pitcher Jaden Murray from Tribal A Sugar Land. The injury hit during Friday's 9-4 loss against the St. Louis Cardinals. Lopper Fido has been solid this season, hitting 259 with six RBI's over 20 games. Losing him stings for the Astros lineup, especially with their outfield already thin. Fans are hoping it's not a long setback for the young slugger who's been turning heads. In other roster news, Houston grabbed infielder Braden Shoemaker from the Yankees in exchange for minor league pitcher Wilmie Sanchez. Shoemaker started the year in Tribal A, Scranton, Slash, Wilkes Bear. These tweaks keep the Astros grinding through injuries. Stay tuned as they push forward in the standings.
