Niko Goodrum: Let go by Astros

Goodrum was released by the Astros on Friday, Kenny Van Doren of Sports Illustrated reports.

Goodrum was designated for assignment by Houston on Thursday, and he'll become a free agent after going unclaimed on waivers. Over 15 games with Houston this year, the 30-year-old hit just .116 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base.
