The Houston Astros reportedly got some big infield help when they landed Ramon Urias from the Baltimore Orioles, and now could be turning their attention to the starting rotation. MLB.com reported that the Astros landed Urias in a deal that will send Single-A right-hander Twine Palmer to Baltimore.

Urías, 31, was traded to Houston from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Twine Palmer. The utility infielder might be somewhat unknown to all but dedicated baseball fans. But look beyond the surface stats, and Urías could be a valuable addition for Houston's push toward the postseason.
