Analysis
Hummel elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Astros earlier this week, but he has quickly found another opportunity with Tampa Bay. The outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Durham, and it's possible that he could earn a promotion to the major-league roster later this season. Hummel has played in 37 games between the Orioles and Astros in 2025, producing a disappointing .170 average with three home runs over 88 at-bats.
