Kicking off rehab assignment Wade (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Wade is ready to test things out in a game setting after missing the past three weeks with a right hamstring strain. He shouldn't need too many rehab games before rejoining the Astros' active roster, perhaps as soon as Friday's series opener against the Rays.

Closing in on rehab assignment Wade (hamstring) has resumed taking batting practice and shagging flyballs and is expected to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment soon, MLB.com reports.

Impact Houston deactivated Wade on the 10-day injured list June 9 after he was diagnosed with a right hamstring injury, but his ability to take part in baseball activities just over a week later suggests that he's dealing with just a mild strain. Wade likely won't need more than a handful of rehab games to prove his health, so he could return from the IL before the end of June if the Astros have room for him on the active roster.

Astros place utilityman LaMonte Wade Jr. on 10-day IL with right hamstring strain

The Houston Astros have placed LaMonte Wade Jr. on the 10-day injured list because of a right hamstring strain

JUNE 10 • Associated Press

Placed on IL with hamstring strain The Astros placed Wade on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wade suffered the injury during Monday's game versus the Angels while legging out a double. It's unclear at this point how severe the strain is, but even a mild one could result in longer than a minimum 10-day absence. Joey Loperfido will take Wade's spot on the active roster.

Departs with hamstring soreness Wade left Monday's game against the Angels with right hamstring soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wade appeared to suffer the injury while legging out a double in the top half of the sixth inning, and he needed to come out of the game immediately after. He can be considered day-to-day until the club has a chance to evaluate him further. Brice Matthews entered the game in Wade's place.

Big line in second game with HOU Wade went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in a 13-2 romp over the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact Wade joined Houston on a one-year contract Thursday and went 0-for-4 in his season debut that evening. The veteran outfielder turned in a much more impactful performance in his second contest with his new club, with his big hits being a solo homer in the second inning and a two-run double in the fifth. Wade seems likely to get occasional starts in left field with the Astros, though he'll probably need to string together an extended productive run to get a chance at seeing regular playing time.

Astros shake up roster: LaMonte Wade Jr. signed, Collin Price gets first MLB call-up

The Houston Astros signed outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. and promoted catcher Collin Price to the major league roster Thursday

JUNE 4 • Associated Press

Catches on with Astros The Astros signed Wade to a one-year contract Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wade slashed .250/.420/.441 with seven home runs over 201 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte in the White Sox organization before exercising an opt-out clause in his minor-league deal. The 32-year-old's best path to at-bats in Houston is in left field, but he'll likely be used mainly in a reserve role.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Chicago The White Sox released Wade on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wade had attended spring training with the White Sox, but he was cut loose before the end of camp after being informed that he wouldn't be included on the Opening Day roster. The 32-year-old first baseman re-signed with Chicago on a new minor-league deal shortly thereafter but was unable to earn a promotion despite slashing .250/.420/.441 with seven home runs over 201 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. Wade shouldn't have much trouble securing a new contract in free agency, though his lack of defensive flexibility could result in him having to settle for another minor-league deal.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by White Sox The White Sox released Wade on Friday.

Impact Wade inked an NRI deal with the White Sox in January, but he'll fall short of making the team's Opening Day roster. The 32-year-old slashed .289/.429/.605 with three home runs, 10 strikeouts and nine walks in spring training.
