The Houston Astros have acquired 26-year-old infielder Raynel Delgado from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for cash. Delgado, who was previously a sixth-round pick in 2018 and has yet to make his Major League debut, has played as high as Triple-A. In 2025, he posted a.281 batting average with five home runs and 53 RBIs, along with 40 stolen bases. This trade comes as the Astros face depth issues at infield, having recently lost Braden Shewmake and Nick Allen to injuries. Delgado could serve as a valuable option as they navigate these challenges.
