The Houston Astros have made a roster adjustment ahead of their matchup against the Cleveland Guardians, placing outfielder Taylor Trammell on the 10-day injured list due to a left groin strain. In his place, the Astros have called up Daniel Johnson, a 30-year-old outfielder with five years of Major League experience. Johnson, who recently signed a minor league contract with the team, has played in 68 MLB games since 2020, posting a batting line of .196/.253/.322 with five home runs. Despite his struggles at the plate, he is noted for his speed, ranking in the 94th percentile of sprint speed among qualified players last season, and is expected to provide solid defense. Johnson made his debut in the game against the Guardians, where he walked and was hit by a pitch in two plate appearances. Additionally, the Astros have promoted Braden Shewmake to replace the injured Nick Allen at shortstop.
