The Astros placed Chapman on waivers Sunday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The 29-year-old was out of minor-league options and wasn't a viable candidate to land a bullpen role on Opening Day, so the Astros elected to cut their losses with the left-hander, who is expected to go unclaimed off waivers. Assuming that materializes, he'll likely be outrighted to Triple-A Fresno.
