"Johnson hit .189/.246/.302 over 57 plate appearances with the Giants and Orioles in 2025, marking a new career high with 31 games played."
"Houston's active roster is overloaded with right-handed bats, and Joey Loperfido was just placed on the 10-day IL due to a quad strain."
"Johnson can add some speed and defense at least at Triple-A to back up this group, despite his limited roster flexibility."
Daniel Johnson has signed a minor league deal with the Astros after becoming a free agent. He has played four big league seasons, with a career batting line of .196/.243/.322. Johnson is a left-handed hitter capable of playing all outfield positions, providing depth for the Astros, who are facing injuries in their outfield. With Joey Loperfido on the IL and other outfielders injured, Johnson's addition aims to enhance speed and defense at Triple-A, despite his limited roster flexibility due to being out of minor league options.
