The Astros will welcome five new faces on Wednesday as teams will be allowed
to expand their active rosters. The team will recall outfielder/first baseman
Brian Bogusevic, infielder Matt Downs, righthander Henry Villar and
lefthander Wesley Wright and will also purchase the contract of catcher Brian
Esposito.
Bogusevic, a converted pitcher, batted .278 with 13 homers, 57 RBIs and has
stolen 23 bases in 130 games for Class AAA Round Rock. The 26-year-old is in
his second full season as a position player after being drafted as pitcher in
2005 .
"From start to finish, he’s really taken a step forward offensively," Astros
assistant general manager Ricky Bennett said. "The last four-to-five weeks, he
’s been taking a lot of ground balls at first base to increase his
versatility."
Downs has hit .244 with seven homers and 32 RBIs combined at Class AAA Round
Rock, Fresno and the Rookie Arizona League Giants. The Astros claimed the
26-year-old off waivers from San Francisco on Aug. 22. He played 29 games for
the Giants this season, hitting .244 with a homer and seven RBIs while
primarily working as a second baseman.
The 31-year-old Esposito hit .205 (40x195) with two home runs and 18 RBIs in
58 games with Round Rock and Class AA Corpus Christi this year. The
23-year-old Villar is 4-7 with a 4.15 ERA in 36 appearances (11 starts) with
Corpus Christi this season and sports a 3.14 ERA in his 25 relief
appearances. Wright, 25, is making his third appearance on the Astros active
roster this season. He is 1-2 with a 6.28 ERA in 10 apperances (four starts)
with the Astros this season.
The Astros will transfer righthander Brian Moehler from the 15-day disabled
list to the 60-day disabled list in order to make room for Esposito on the
40-man roster. Moehler has been on the disabled list since July 8 and will
undergo surgery on Wednesday in Philadelphia to repair a muscle in his lower
abdomen.
