Astros' Jamie Ritchie: Added to player pool

Ritchie was added to the Astros' 60-man player pool Sunday.

Ritchie, who is not on the 40-man roster, fits the criteria to be in any team's player pool: he has experience as a catcher. The 27-year-old spent the entire 2019 season at Triple-A Round Rock, starting 70 games behind the plate. He slashed .270/.375/.409 with five home runs, 20 doubles and 33 RBI over 301 plate appearances.
