Astros Bolster Bullpen Depth, Trade Bautista for Robertson

The Houston Astros have acquired right-handed reliever Nick Robertson from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for right-hander Edinson Bautista. This move aims to strengthen the Astros' bullpen depth, addressing potential needs as the season progresses. To accommodate Robertson on their 40-man roster, the Astros placed pitcher Cristian Javier on the 60-day injured list. Robertson, who will initially report to the Astros' Triple-A affiliate in Sugar Land, brings additional arm strength and potential to the organization's pitching ranks.
