HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros have set the preliminary 2013 minor league rosters for the Class A Short Season Tri-City ValleyCats and the Rookie Level Greeneville and Gulf Coast League clubs. The announcement was made by Astros Director of Player Development Quinton McCracken.

The rosters are subject to change and will not be officially finalized until each club begins league play. Tri-City is scheduled to begin their season tonight while Greeneville begins play on Thursday, June 20. The Gulf Coast League Astros will start their season on Friday, June 21.
