Astros: Is Pedro Leon a late-season call up?

Hooks' Pedro Leon hits a home run, Wednesday, June 16, 2021, at Whataburger Field. This is Leon's sixth home run of the season.

The Astros promoted Pedro Leon, the top position player prospect, to Triple-A on Sunday.

The anticipation to see Pedro Leon at the major-league level is brewing more and more with each passing month, but a recent promotion to Sugar Land Skeeters could be a sign that he is called up late in the season.

The Houston Astros have something special in Leon with his multi-tooled ability and shortstop and outfield gloves; the right-hander is developing versatility to address two positions that are up in the air for 2022.
