Another former Brewer farmhand gets the call... Astros purchased the contract of RHP Cy Sneed from Triple-A Round Rock. Sneed, 26, gets the call to replace Framber Valdez, who was sent to Round Rock after another poor start on Wednesday for the Astros. To clear room on the 40-man roster, the Astros moved Joe Smith to the 60-day injured list. On the year, Sneed has a 4.48 ERA with a 59/22 K/BB ratio and 1.17 WHIP over 70 1/3 innings in the Pacific Coast League. Jun 27, 2019, 11:18 AM ET
