Justin Dirden: Let go by Houston

The Astros released Dirden on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dirden was one of the stars of Houston's training camp in 2023 but dealt with injuries at Triple-A last season and slashed .231/.314/.396 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI over 364 plate appearances. The 26-year-old outfielder will look to catch on with another organization for 2024.
