Astros Shuffle The Deck: Arrighetti In, Hummel On The Brink

The Houston Astros are playing roster roulette and Cooper Hummel could be rolling to his next team! Just last week, the 29-year-old utility player found a temporary home with the Astros, but now he's DFA'd to make room after a game of musical chairs. Spencer Arrighetti gets the nod, and Wander Suero's booking it to Triple-A.

On the Move Again? Could be deja vu all over for Hummel as the Astros have one week to deal him or dodge him through waivers. His major league stats are underwhelming, sure, but take a peek at his miLB digits - dude's a walking wonder with a .287/.419/.488 slash since 2021. That's money in Triple-A!

"Versatility is his middle name - catcher, outfield, infield - you name it, he's your guy," an insider might say.

Hummel's Options: He's got an option year left, so he can chill in the minors, or a team could swipe him for his bat and glove magic. This could be yet another carousel ride as teams might want to snag this diamond in the rough before he hits non-roster depths. Stay tuned, sports fans, Hummel's journey ain't over — it's just getting another spin!
