The Houston Astros have recalled one of their minor league pitchers ahead of their series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
There has yet to be a corresponding move announced, but the most likely option is Shawn Dubin. He's one of the few remaining relievers with options and pitched a three-inning save against the, but gave up at least three runs in each of his other two appearances. His WHIP is all the way up at 2.25 this season.
He has a career 5.88 ERA and 1.54 WHIP pitcher in the Majors, making stints in each of the last three years. The 28-year-old doesn't give up many hard hits, but doesn't really fool batters at the plate either. He has allowed an OPS of .840 against him and has only struck out two batters to three walks.Houston's staff currently ranks 19th in MLB in ERA and 20th in WHIP as well as FIP. It hasn't been the year that many had hoped for out of the bullpen, just one of the many factors into the slow start.
