• Hector Neris: Opts for free agency

  08/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Neris cleared waivers Friday and elected free agency, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Neris gave up seven earned runs over 11.2 innings during his stint with the Astros before being DFA'd by the team Tuesday. Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land, the 36-year-old will now test his value in the open market. A major-league deal may be hard to come by, however, as he currently owns a 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP through 26.2 innings between three different teams.

  The Astros designated Neris for assignment Tuesday. The veteran right-hander inked a deal with Houston in early July and made 12 appearances during his month-plus with the club, allowing seven earned runs in 11.2 innings. Neris has also pitched for the Angels and Atlanta this season, and he has a combined 6.75 ERA across 26.2 frames between the three clubs.

• Astros' Hector Neris: Returns to Houston

  07/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Neris agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with the Astros on Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. After spending time with the Angels and Atlanta earlier this season, Neris will now return to Houston for his third stint with the Astros in the last four years. The 36-year-old right-hander will immediately be granted a spot in the big-league bullpen, despite owning a 7.80 ERA over 15 innings on the season. Houston is likely to deploy Neris in lower-leverage spots initially.

  The Angels released Neris on Thursday. Neris has posted an ugly 7.81 ERA in 15 innings this season between Atlanta and Anaheim, though he has struck out 20 batters during that time. The veteran reliever should get another opportunity elsewhere, but he might have to pitch in the minors for a bit.

• Angels' Hector Neris: Tosses scoreless frame

  05/20/2025 • By RotoWire

  Neris (finger) struck out one during a scoreless inning in Monday's 4-3 victory over the Athletics. Neris has been dealing with a blister on his pitching hand since Saturday, so it was good to see him deliver a strong outing on the way to Monday's win. He got through the eighth inning with ease, firing seven of his nine pitches for strikes. The team will presumably check in on the right-hander Tuesday morning to see how he bounces back from Monday's relief appearance.
