Sent to minor-league camp France was optioned to the Astros' minor-league camp Sunday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. Impact France was added to Houston's 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but he won't open 2023 in the majors. The 27-year-old had a 3.90 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 136:51 K:BB over 110.2 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land last year and could make his MLB debut this season.
