The Houston Astros have re-signed outfielder/first baseman Cooper Hummel on a minor league contract, sending him to Triple-A Sugar Land. Hummel, who recently chose free agency from the Orioles, had a brief and unremarkable MLB stint with them, going 0-8 in six games. However, he displayed strong offensive metrics in the minors last year with a .277 average and a 17.9% walk rate. This move marks Hummel's return to a familiar environment as the Astros focus on building a solid roster, having recently also re-signed veteran catcher Omar Narváez.
