After several years of effort and notable results, the Cuban Peter Leon received the long-awaited promotion from the Houston Astros and will be activated this Tuesday in the Major League Baseball.
Specialized journalist Francys Romero broke the news on the social network Facebook and highlighted the outfielder’s excellent statistics in the current Triple A season.
At the time of the call, Leon, 26, had 19 homers, 74 RBIs and an .896 OPS. It is worth remembering that signed in January 2021 with the Astros, for $4 million.
The outfielder will join his fellow countrymen Yordan Álvarez and Aledmys Díaz, who returned to the franchise just a few weeks ago.
The Houston team is fighting to qualify for the postseason, with a record of 55 wins and 51 losses. Tonight, they will play at home in the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates (54-52).
