The Astros re-signed reliever Jordan Weems to a minor league contract, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The righty heads back to Triple-A Sugar Land. Weems elected free agency yesterday after Houston outrighted him off the 40-man roster.
Weems made two big league appearances, tossing three innings of two-run ball. The 32-year-old righty had spent a few weeks with Sugar Land before being called up. He allowed five runs over 11 1/3 frames, striking out 10 while issuing six walks. He’d posted a 5.09 earned run average in 17 2/3 innings with Atlanta’s top farm team earlier in the year. Weems carries a 4.66 mark across 29 combined innings, striking out 21.4% of batters faced while walking more than 12% of opponents.
The brief MLB stint marked Weems’ sixth season logging MLB action. He got a decent amount of work in middle relief with the Nationals between 2022-24. Weems combined for a 5.03 ERA in 136 innings over that trio of seasons. Washington outrighted him off the roster last August, sending him to minor league free agency at the end of the year. Weems is now out of options, so the Astros needed to run him through waivers to take him out of the MLB bullpen.
