The Astros have sent outfielder Taylor Trammell and right-hander Logan VanWey outright to Triple-A Sugar Land. Chandler Rome of The Athletic was among those to pass the info along. It wasn’t previously reported that the club had removed either from the roster but it appears Houston put them on waivers to clear up a couple of roster spots, perhaps to make a selection in next week’s Rule 5 draft. The 40-man count is technically down to 38 but the Astros reportedly have an agreement in place with Ryan Weiss, so he will need a spot whenever that deal becomes official.
