The Houston Astros DFA Hector Ambriz for assignment

The Astros have designated 29-year old righty reliever Hector Ambriz for assignment.  Ambriz pitched in 43 games (0 starts) for the Astros this year and he was 2-4 with 2 saves, a 5.70 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP.  He pitched in 61 games (0 starts) in his two years with the Astros and he was 3-5 with 2 saves, a 5.17 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP.  This isn’t much of a loss for the Astros moving forward.
