On Tuesday, Chandler Rome reported that prospect Forrest Whitley was in COVID-19 protocol along with Blair Henley, Korey Lee, Colton Shaver and Peter Solomon. Among these Houston Astros, Whitley and Solomon stand as the only two 40-man roster spot holders and will be looking to make their Major League debuts this season. This does not mean these players have contracted the virus, but they were in contact with someone who has.
Among these names, Michael Schwab reported that star prospect Pedro Leon was still in the process of obtaining his visa to come to the Astros’ facility and is expected to travel to Florida this Thursday.
