The Houston Astros have a strange tendency and desire to bring back former players, even when baseball logic suggests they should such a reunion at all costs.
Of course, this strategy seems to have worked out well with their recent trade deadline move to bring back Carlos Correa; however, the reunions with Hector Neris and Jon Singleton this season never quite made much sense. Singleton lasted only three games upon his return, and the Neris experiment came to a laughable end on Tuesday.
Neris was designated for assignment as part of a flurry of roster moves that included All-Star closer Josh Hader being placed on the 15-day IL.
