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.
