Pedro Leon Injury: Waived by Astros

The Astros placed Leon (knee) on outright waivers Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Leon spent all of 2025 on the injured list while battling knee problems, though he managed to slash .241/.312/.422 over 94 Triple-A plate appearances across multiple rehab assignments. He may be fully healthy by the time the 2026 season starts, but he will most likely remain in the minor leagues as organizational depth.
