The Astros have released right-hander Anthony Maldonado, who signed a minor league contract with the team in November but didn’t make the active roster. At Triple-A Sugar Land, he recorded a 2.87 ERA over 22 relief innings, aided by a low home run rate, though a high 17.4% walk rate and a below-average strikeout rate raised concerns. Maldonado debuted in MLB with Miami in 2024, holding a career 7.20 ERA over 25 innings with the Marlins and Athletics. After being outrighted last season, he chose free agency.
