Astros optioned OF Trey Cabbage and INF David Hensley to Triple-A Sugar Land; reassigned RHPs Drew Strotman, Cole McDonald and Wander Suero to minor league camp.
It looks like Cabbage lost one of the bench battles during spring camp. The 26-year-old could not find consistency at the plate and as a result went 4-for-36 (.111 AVG) with 17 strikeouts. Strikeouts remain to be a issue for Cabbage as he struck out 46% of the time in his 56 plate appearances with the Angels last season.
