| The Astros claimed right-hander off waivers from the Brewers, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Junk was designated for a signment when Milwaukee reinstated from the 60 Alex Cobb Jersey -day injured list. Houston already had an open spot on the 40-man roster, so no additional moves were nece sary. Junk has been optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land and will give the Stros some additional depth. This is the final option year for Junk, 28, whos pitched in the big leagues in each of the past four seasons. Hes only received scattered looks during his time with the Angels and Brewers, logging a combined 40 innings with a 5.18 ERA, 18.8% strikeout rate, 5% walk rate and 44.8% ground-ball rate. Hes worked both as a starter and reliever in his pro career, and though hes primarily spent the season in the bullpen with the Brewers Triple-A Nashville affiliate, hes frequently worked in multi-inning stints throughout the summer. Junks big league numbers may not be particularly sharp, but he sports a tidy 2.55 earned run average in 35 1/3 Triple-A frames this season. Hes punched out 23.6% of his opponents there against a 10.1% walk rate. Junk has been outstanding of late, too. Hes rattled off 17 straight scorele s frames in Nashville, logging a 19-to-7 K/BB ratio along the way and only yielding a dozen hits in that time. In parts of four Triple-A seasons, Junk has a 4.15 ERA over the life of 251 1/3 innings. Ford Proctor Jersey Click here Click here Click here
