Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Astros in March of 2026.
Headed back to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Murray to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.
Analysis
Houston will replace Murray on the active roster with Colton Gordon, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move and would appear to be a strong candidate to make a start during the team's upcoming three-game series versus the Rockies after the Astros lost three rotation members to the injured list within the last week. Murray was unlikely to be available out of the Houston bullpen for at least another day or two after he was pressed into long relief in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners. He tossed two innings and 38 pitches in his 2026 big-league debut, giving up two earned runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three batters.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not added to 40-man roster
Murray was not added to the Astros' 40-man roster and will be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft, reports Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.
Analysis
Murray was acquired by Houston in the deal that sent Jose Siri to Tampa Bay. Murray spent much of the 2022 season in Double-A and made one start at Triple-A while in the Rays' organization. The 25-year-old posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 2.91 K/BB in 108 innings overall in 2022. With only 4.1 innings pitched at the Triple-A level, he's not a lock to be selected in December's Rule 5 Draft.
