The Houston Astros release Alberto Arias
The Astros have released 28-year old righty reliever Alberto Arias. Arias last pitched way back in 2009 for the Astros, as he has missed the last couple of years due to shoulder problems. Arias pitched in 45 games (2 starts) in his two years with the Astros and he was 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. This isn’t much of a loss for the Astros.
