Astros Option Brandon Bielak
1 year agoThe Houston Astros optioned right-hander Brandon Bielak to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday and recalled right-hander Shawn Dubin from Round Rock in a corresponding move. Bielak forced the Astros' hand after allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday to drop his ERA on the year to 4.37 (5.65 FIP). He also has a 1.61 WHIP, 18 walks and 37 strikeouts in 47 1/3 innings this year over nine appearances (eight starts) for Houston. The 27-year-old will work on his mechanics in the minor leagues in hopes of getting another shot at a starting rotation spot for the Astros in 2023.
