Astros Acquire Outfielder Taylor Trammell from Yankees

The Houston Astros bolster their outfield depth by trading for Taylor Trammell, a former first-round pick, in exchange for cash considerations.

Taylor Trammell, 27, joins the Astros after spending most of the 2024 season with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate.
Trammell has appeared in 126 major league games with a career batting average of .167.
The Yankees added Trammell to their 40-man roster over the weekend to prevent him from becoming a free agent.
Trammell played briefly for both the Dodgers and Yankees this season, recording a single hit in his lone at-bat for New York.
The trade gives the Astros a left-handed hitting option in the outfield but requires them to keep Trammell on the major league roster or pass him through waivers.
