Ryan Weiss - Designated for assignment The Astros designated Weiss for assignment Friday.

Impact The Astros gave Weiss a major-league contract over the offseason after he spent time overseas, but he was sent down to Triple-A Sugar Land in early May after posting a 7.62 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 30:20 K:BB over 26 innings. Given his $2.6 million salary, he will likely clear waivers and remain at Sugar Land.

Impact Whitcomb got the start at shortstop to give Jeremy Pena a rest day. Whitcomb had the Astros' lone hit against Angels starter Reid Detmers, a solo shot in the sixth inning. For the season, Whitcomb is batting just .130 with a .558 OPS, two homers, five RBI, two runs scored and a 1:11 BB:K over 24 plate appearances. He is expected to fill a utility role off the bench most of the time during this stint in the majors.

Cam Smith - Lifts seventh homer Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Impact Smith had gone 10 games without a homer before lifting a solo shot off Chase Silseth in the eighth inning to tie the game at 2-2. During that power drought, Smith still had three extra-base hits and four RBI. The outfielder has endured a bit of a sophomore slump in 2026, batting .220 with a .675 OPS, seven homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 69 contests. While his numbers aren't particularly impressive, he continues to handle a starting role in right field.
