Taylor Trammell - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Holding down strong-side of platoon Trammell will start in left field and bat cleanup Sunday against the Brewers.

Impact While the Astros may look to shield the left-handed-hitting Trammell from matchups with southpaws, he's been a fixture of the lineup versus righties since returning from the injured list Tuesday. Trammell will draw a sixth straight start after going 6-for-18 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI over the prior five games. He could eventually face competition for a regular role in the outfield from Joey Loperfido (quadriceps), who has played in four minor-league rehab games and could be activated from the injured list at some point during the upcoming week.

Activated from injured list The Astros activated Trammell (groin) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Trammell was shelved for more than a month with a left groin strain but has been cleared to return after going 4-for-16 with a pair of home runs across four rehab games. With Zach Cole back in the minors and Joey Loperfido (quad/foot) having recently suffered a setback, the left-handed-swinging Trammell could see playing time versus right-handed pitching.

Begins rehab assignment Trammell (groin) began a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, going 1-for-4 with a double.

Impact It was Trammell's first game in a month, as he's been working his way back from a left groin strain. He shouldn't require too many more rehab at-bats before rejoining the Astros' active roster. Unfortunately for Trammell, with Jake Meyers back healthy, the former is likely looking at a reserve role.

Isaac Paredes' fiancee, Taylor Trammell's wife and more turn heads at the Astros wives' "Love and Little Lassos" baby and bridal shower After missing the postseason in 2025, Isaac Paredes, Taylor Trammel and the Houston Astros are working hard to avoid the same fate this year.

Impact Trammell is working his way back from a left groin strain, which sent him to the 10-day injured list April 21. He looks like he has a few more boxes to check in the recovery process before advancing to a minor-league rehab assignment and a return to the Astros' active roster. Trammell opened the season as a non-roster player for the Astros but reached the big leagues April 10 when Houston's outfield depth was tested by injuries. Before getting hurt himself, Trammell acquitted himself well over his 10 games with the big club, slashing .345/.424/.448 over 33 plate appearances.

Shelved by groin strain The Astros placed Trammell on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain.

Impact Trammell was hurt in Monday's game versus the Guardians while running the bases. The Astros haven't revealed the grade of the strain, but it's bad enough to keep Trammell sidelined at least for the next week-and-a-half. Brice Matthews is starting in center field against a lefty on Tuesday, and Dustin Harris and Daniel Johnson should also see reps at the position while Trammell and Jake Meyers (oblique) recuperate.

Expected to miss time Manager Joe Espada stated after Monday's game against the Guardians that Trammell (groin) will "be out for a little bit", Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Trammell suffered a left groin injury while running the bases Monday, and it sounds as though he'll require a trip to the injured list. An official move should come at some point Tuesday. Dustin Harris and Brice Matthews could see more time in center field while Trammell is sidelined.

Diagnosed with groin injury Trammell left Monday's game against the Guardians due to a left groin injury, Julia Morales of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact Trammell was forced to depart Monday's matchup after suffering an injury while running the bases. The team has yet to disclose the severity of the injury, so he can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Monday's game Trammell was removed from Monday's game against the Guardians in the fourth inning due to an apparent lower-body injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Trammell appeared to sustain the injury while running to third base and left the field with a trainer shortly after. He went 1-for-1 with a walk prior to being replaced by Cam Smith in the outfield. The Astros should have an update on Trammell's injury once he undergoes more tests.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as primary center fielder Trammell will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Trammell will draw his fifth consecutive start and should have a clear path to an everyday role in center field for the time being after Joey Loperfido (quadriceps) recently joined Jake Meyers (oblique) on the injured list. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sugar Land on April 10, Trammell has slashed .321/.387/.429 with two extra-base hits (one double, one triple), one stolen base, four RBI and four runs in nine games.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Wednesday Trammell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact After getting called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Trammell has started in three of the Astros' ensuing six games while going a collective 4-for-13 with a double, two walks, three RBI and two runs. He'll likely be part of a timeshare in center field with Joey Loperfido until Jake Meyers (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

Headed to big leagues The Astros selected Trammell's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

Impact With Jake Meyers (back) headed to the 10-day injured list, Trammell will provide outfield depth with the Astros. In 10 games with Sugar Land this season, Trammell has slashed .226/.455/.548 with five extra-base hits, including two home runs, five RBI, eight runs scored, four stolen bases and an 11:11 BB:K across 45 plate appearances.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Astros Trammell will join the Astros in Seattle on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact The presence of Trammell suggests Jake Meyers (back) could be slated to miss some time, though it's unclear at this point whether Trammell will be added to the roster or simply be on the taxi squad. Trammell slashed just .197/.296/.333over 52 contests for Houston in 2025.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Denied Opening Day roster spot The Astros reassigned Trammell to minor-league camp Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Despite posting a .904 OPS over 45 appearances in the Grapefruit League, Trammell came up short in his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old outfielder is expected to handle an everyday role at Triple-A Sugar Land to begin the season.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Trammell cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trammell signed a split contract with Houston in November that would've paid him $900,000 if he were in the big leagues, but it now appears that he will begin the 2026 campaign in the minors. The 28-year-old outfielder owns a .632 OPS over 494 plate appearances in his big-league career and likely wouldn't serve as more than a bench piece if he made it back to the majors in '26.

Gets new deal from Astros Trammell signed a one-year, split contract with the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trammell's contract will pay him $900,000 if he's in the majors, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The 28-year-old finished 2025 with a .197/.296/.333 slash line through 135 plate appearances and will likely have to fight to make the big-league roster during spring training.
