Struggling LHP Miley included on Houston’s ALDS roster
HOUSTON (AP) — Starter Wade Miley made Houston’s roster for the AL Division Series despite struggling for the last month.
Miley’s status for Houston’s series against the Tampa Bay Rays was up in the air after the veteran left-hander had a 16.68 ERA in five starts in September. The Astros also included rookie José Urquidy, who along with Miley could be an option to start Game 4, on the roster. The Astros left veteran Brad Peacock off the roster after he made just three appearances in September after missing almost a month dealing with shoulder soreness.
Houston also included rookie outfielder Kyle Tucker and speedy utility man Myles Straw on the roster.
The Astros will carry 11 pitchers and 14 position players in the best-of-five series which begins on Friday.
