Pedro León took a 92.9 mph fastball to his face. He’s leaving the game with a trainer and is being pinch ran for by Franklin Barreto. He walked off the field on his own accord with a towel on his face.

Astros Joe Perez on being added to the 40-man: “I received a surreal phone call today from the Astros. All of the work i’ve put in daily over the last few years is finally showing. Definitely motivated more than ever and can’t wait to pick up next year where I left off in 2021.”
