The Houston Astros have made another decisive move in the midst of a tight 2025 AL West race, announcing the signing of right-handed reliever Enyel De Los Santos to a major-league contract. With a Houston bullpen taxed by injuries and high-leverage innings, the front office is betting on De Los Santos to be the latest arm to step up as the playoff push heats up.

The news became official when The Athletic’s Chandler Rome took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to report the signing, confirming that the 29-year-old reliever will join the team in New York for the New York Yankees series Friday night.
