ASTROS ADD PITCHER SPENSER WATKINS
The Houston Astros acquired pitcher Spenser Watkins from the Baltimore Orioles for cash.
What does it give the Houston Astros
Watkins adds organizational pitching depth for a Houston team that has been hit hard by injuries to their starting pitching staff. Watkins can start or relieve in MLB but will start out in the minors.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles were comfortable with their pitching depth, so they decided to designate Watkins for assignment recently. Houston came calling, so Baltimore sold the right-hander for some cash.
Fantasy impact
If Watkins makes it to Houston's starting rotation later on this season, he might be worth picking up as a fantasy dart throw.
