The Astros traded Whitely to Tampa Bay on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Astros will receive cash considerations. Whitley was sidelined for a significant portion of the first two months of the 2025 season due to a pair of knee injuries. He stumbled to a 12.27 ERA over 7.1 innings in five appearances with the Astros before being designated for assignment Sunday. The 27-year-old will get a fresh start with the Rays as he tries to reclaim his 2024 form, when he logged a 1.89 ERA over 33.1 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land and threw 3.1 scoreless innings for the Astros. Whitley doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so he'll join the big club upon reporting to his new organization.
