Banged-up Astros place infielder Luis Guillorme on injured list with hamstring strain

The Houston Astros place infielder Luis Guillorme on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring

JULY 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Selected to active roster The Astros selected Short's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Short has spent the entire season in Triple-A, slashing .211/.356/.402 across 320 plate appearances. He'll now join the big-league roster to replace the injured Luis Guillorme (hamstring), though Short isn't expected to make many starts in the infield. Yordan Alvarez was transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man spot.

Inks MiLB deal with Houston The Astros signed Short to a minor-league contract Monday.

Impact Short accrued 88 plate appearances between the Mets, Red Sox and Atlanta in 2024, slashing just .129/.282/.171. He will provide utility depth in the minors for Houston.

Outrighted to Triple-A Short cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact Short was dropped from Atlanta's 40-man roster Thursday after he put up a .517 OPS through 69 plate appearances with the big-league squad. The 29-year-old has already switched teams twice this year after being DFA'd by the Mets and Red Sox, but he will remain within the organization this time around.

Booted from 40-man roster Atlanta designated Short for assignment Thursday.

Impact Short's opportunities in Atlanta were few and far between and he did very little with what he was given, producing just a .478 OPS in 29 games. It's possible the 29-year-old will draw some interest on waivers due to his defensive versatility.

Seeing little playing time Short is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Short picked up three consecutive starts at shortstop to begin July, but he hasn't returned to the lineup since with Orlando Arcia returning to action July 5 and avoiding a stint on the injured list due to an abscessed tooth. Expect Short's starting opportunities to be few and far between while Atlanta is at full strength in the infield.

Returns to reserve role Short remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Short is on the bench for the third game in a row and has settled into a full-time reserve role after Austin Riley put an end to his to his two-week absence Monday. While Riley missed 13 consecutive games with a left intercostal strain, Short picked up 12 starts at third base during that stretch, with Luke Williams getting the other nod.

Retreats to bench Thursday Short is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Austin Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for a 10th consecutive game, but after starting each of the previous nine games in Riley's stead, Short will give way to Luke Williams at third base Thursday. Atlanta is still seemingly viewing Riley as day-to-day, so Short's run of regular playing time at the hot corner could come to an end as soon as this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Filling in for injured Riley Short will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Short will draw a ninth consecutive start at the hot corner while Austin Riley (side) remains day-to-day. The 28-year-old has delivered a solid .345 on-base percentage over his prior eight starts, but he's provided little fantasy value with a .208 average, zero home runs or stolen bases and two RBI and runs during that stretch. He'll fall back into a light role once Riley is cleared to return to the lineup.
