The Astros optioned Forrest Whitley back to Triple-A Sugar Land. Justin Verlander will take his roster spot on Friday.
@Chandler_Rome LMFAO kid finally gets called up, thrown to the wolves in the 9th against one of the best lineups in baseball to give up runs, then just shuffled back to the minors immediately after. What a clown show
@realpichael @Chandler_Rome Guessing you’re not overly familiar with the rules of baseball?
@realpichael @Chandler_Rome Whoever they had brought in as an extra reliever would have had the same fate, regardless of performance. They were just needing an extra bullpen arm due to the usage from the previous 10ish days, and were going to bring back JV (or another starter if JV wasn’t ready).
@realpichael Who do you want them to send them down.
@realpichael @Chandler_Rome He most likely will be back, the Astros need to utilize players with options until all their starting pitchers on the IL are back. Whitley will be back at some point
