Overview

  • The Astros confirmed a minor-league contract with a non-roster invitation, and Biggio reported to camp in West Palm Beach for the first full-squad workout on Monday.
  • Biggio said he underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his right elbow after last season and estimates he is two to three weeks from game action.
  • Manager Joe Espada praised Biggio’s left-handed bat and versatility and said he will receive an opportunity to compete for a roster spot.
  • With the infield anchored by Carlos Correa, Jeremy Peña, José Altuve and Christian Walker, his best chances appear to be a bench job or part-time corner-outfield role.
  • The son of Astros Hall of Famer and current special advisor Craig Biggio, the 30-year-old has played 561 MLB games and has appeared at every position except pitcher and catcher.
