Astros' Misael Tamarez: Transferred to development list
Rotowire
The Astros placed Tamarez on the development list Thursday, Kenny Van Doren of MLB Pipeline reports.
Tamarez entered the season as one of Houston's better pitching prospects, but he struggled mightily with Triple-A Sugar Land and shifted to a relief role in early June. Even from that point, he's posted a 10.38 ERA and 2.08 WHIP, so the Astros are giving Tamarez some time to reset in the hopes of resurrecting his development.

Astros' Misael Tamarez: Reassigned to MiLB camp
Rotowire
Tamarez was re-assigned to minor-league camp Tuesday by the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Tamarez is one of the best pitching prospects in the Houston system. The right-hander struck out 142 hitters in 121.1 innings of work between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land last season. The right-hander will start the 2023 season in the minors, but with two plus pitches, he could help Houston before the end of the year.
