Baseball Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Astros have designated pitcher Casey Daigle for assignment and purchased the contract of pitcher Gary Majewski from Triple-A Round Rock.

Daigle posted a 1-1 record with an 11.32 earned run average in 13 relief outings over two stints with the Astros this season. He allowed six runs on nine hits over just 1 1/3 innings in his last two outings Saturday and Sunday.

The Astros have 10 days to either trade, release or assign outright the 29- year-old right-hander's contract.

Majewski will join the Astros in Chicago for Monday's series opener against the Cubs after going 3-2 with a 4.04 ERA in 27 relief appearances for the Express.

The 30-year-old right-hander holds a combined 9-13 mark with a 4.61 ERA in 229 major league relief outings over five seasons with the Expos/Nationals franchise and Reds, though he has not pitched in the big leagues since 2008.
