Houston expands to 28 and activates Taylor Trammell and Luis Garcia from the IL as September play ramps up. Trammell adds left-handed outfield depth and bench versatility, carrying a 42-game .208/.313/.354 line this season. Garcia returns after Tommy John rehab for a potential boost to Houston’s rotation in short stints or relief. The club DFA’d Logan Davidson to clear a 40-man spot; Victor Caratini’s concussion IL status is on the mend, while Jake Meyers and Zach Dezenzo near activation from injuries.

Depth and flexibility headline Houston’s late-season strategy: Trammell and Garcia provide immediate bounce-back options, while the refreshed bench and near-term returns from Caratini, Meyers, and Dezenzo expand platoon and matchups for fantasy managers in the final weeks.
