After the Atlanta Braves designated relief pitcher Enyel De Los Santos for assignment and outrighted him to Triple-A Gwinnett, De Los Santos elected free agency. It then didn't take long for him to find his next opportunity.
MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reported Thursday the Houston Astros signed De Los Santos to a Major League contract. The right-hander's transaction page on MLB.com confirmed the signing.
To clear room for De Los Santos, the Astros designated right-handed pitcher Luis Contreras for assignment and optioned fellow right-handed pitcher Nick Hernandez to Triple-A Sugar Land.
