Astros selected the contract of 3B Zach Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land.
Dezenzo missed time at the outset of the year due to a wrist injury, but has looked outstanding in a small sample over the past few weeks at Triple-A Sugar Land, batting .391 (18-for-46) with four homers and three steals in 11 games. The 24-year-old corner infielder put together a breakthrough campaign last year, registering a robust .914 OPS with 18 homers and 22 steals between High-A Asheville and Double-A Corpus Christi. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues on the possibility that he winds up playing regularly and catching fire at the highest level.
