For the first time since the 2010 season, the Astros will have a strong presence in Round Rock as the Express will be the club’s Triple-A affiliate for at least the next four years. Following a successful stint with the Fresno Grizzlies (2015-18) and then-Oklahoma City Red Hawks (2011-14) as the organization’s Triple-A affiliates, Houston regains a familiar face with the Round Rock Express.

In case you don’t remember, the Express were originally the Astros’ Double-A affiliate from 2000-04 followed by a stint as the club’s Triple-A affiliate from 2005-10.
