WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Astros set their position player group for the opening day roster on Saturday after reassigning outfielder Lewis Brinson, catcher Michael Papierski and infielder Franklin Barreto to minor league camp.
All three players will start the minor league season in Class AAA Sugar Land, which plays its first game Tuesday in Sacramento. None of the three players had a legitimate chance to break camp with the major league team even with expanded 28-man rosters in April. Saturday’s moves all but ensure the Astros will carry a 15-man pitching staff — including a 10-man bullpen — in April.1B Yuli Gurriel
