The Houston Astros announced Friday (July 17) that they’ve selected the contract of outfielder Lucas Spence from Triple-A Sugar Land. Spence played with the 2023 Beecher Muskies and signed with the Astros in 2024 as an undrafted free agent. He’s climbed to Triple-A in about two calendar years. The Southern Illinois University product opened the ’26 season in Double-A and hit well through 44 games and 207 plate appearances before getting bumped to Sugar Land for his first career Triple-A action.
