Astros Reinforce Roster with Heyward, Activate Pressly

Heyward Inks Deal, Pressly Returns from Injury

The Houston Astros have bolstered their roster by signing outfielder Jason Heyward and activating right-handed pitcher Ryan Pressly from the injured list.

Heyward's Addition

Heyward, a former Gold Glove winner and All-Star, brings a wealth of experience to the Astros' outfield. The 33-year-old provides a strong bat and a reliable glove in the outfield.

Pressly's Return

Pressly, who has been out since July with a lower back strain, is expected to be a key contributor to the Astros' bullpen. The 34-year-old is one of the best relievers in baseball, boasting a career ERA of 2.90.

Impact on Astros

The additions of Heyward and Pressly are significant for the Astros, who are currently battling for a playoff spot.

• Heyward provides a power bat and defensive stability in the outfield.
• Pressly bolsters the bullpen with his experience and ability to close out games.

Both players are expected to make their Astros debuts in the coming days.
