Trey Cabbage Recalled, Pedro Leon Sent Down
3 months agoThe Houston Astros recalled outfielder Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday and optioned outfield prospect Pedro Leon to Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Cabbage has immediately been put in the team's starting lineup on Monday at Minute Maid Park against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Tanner Houck, as he's playing right field and batting seventh. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder will return to a part-time role in Houston against right-handed pitchers, but he doesn't really move the needle for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. Cabbage is hitting .217 (18-for-83) with a homer and eight RBI in 43 games at the big-league level in his second year in the majors in 2024. Leon, the club's No. 21 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will head back to the farm after going 2-for-20 (.100) with two steals and 10 strikeouts in his first seven games in the bigs.
