The Astros have released Tri-City pitcher Max Fearnow.
Fearnow signed as an undrafted free agent at the end of June, got started in Tri-City's rotation, did well, and got moved to the bullpen, where he did not do so well. He struck out 21 and walked 17 in 36.2IP of work.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
