HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros have set their preliminary 2017 minor league rosters for four of their affiliates: Triple A Fresno, Double A Corpus Christi, Class A Advanced Buies Creek and Class A Quad Cities. The announcement was made by Astros Assistant General Manager, Scouting and Player Development Mike Elias. The four clubs will begin regular season play on Thursday, April 6.
Additionally, Astros right-handed pitcher Collin McHugh is expected to make a rehab start with Triple A Fresno on Thursday. McHugh was placed on the 10-day Disabled List on March 30 with right shoulder tendinitis.
These rosters are subject to change and will not be officially finalized until minor league Opening Day. Rosters do not include Disabled List players.
