Grae Kessinger Designated For Assignment
1 min agoAccording to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Houston Astros have designated third baseman Grae Kessinger for assignment. This was done in a corresponding move to add free agent first baseman Christian Walker to the active roster. Kessinger only appeared in 49 games at the major league level over the past two seasons and held a poor .131/.243/.213 with just two doubles and one home run. However, across 121 games at the Triple-A level, Kessinger carried a solid .271/.363/.407 slash line with 23 doubles, 12 home runs, and nine swiped bags. Fantasy managers should expect the former second round selection out of Ole Miss to find a new home on a minor league deal and contend for a spot on an Opening Day roster if he has a successful Spring Training.
