Astros: Rogelio Armenteros called up, Derek Fisher sent down

Armenteros is already on the Astros‘ 40-man roster and will be called upon to give the bullpen a much-needed break. Houston has been involved in five extra-inning games out of the last ten and three of the past six. Two of the recent ones were 14 inning marathons.

The bullpen has been under a heavy workload as of late and they have just one day off in the 16 games remaining in June. Taking all of this under consideration, according to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, Rogelio Armenteros will be the one to called in to help ease the load.
