Collin McHugh on Astros' ALCS roster

Houston Astros pitcher Collin McHugh is on the team's roster for their ALCS matchup against the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

This is somewhat surprising as McHugh was left off the team's ALDS roster. However, the Astros have decided to go with 12 pitchers for the next round, which means Tyler White will be the odd man out among position players. Primarily a starter, McHugh will serve in long relief for Houston.

Over 63 1/3 innings, McHugh owns a 3.55 ERA and 1.29 on the year.
