This is hardly surprising, but Jose Vallejo was outrighted to Round Rock, where he had to clear waivers to do so. He did. Apparently 29 MLB teams aren't interested in picking up a guy who got pwned by a dead pig.
Vallejo will head off to rehab in Triple-A, so that clears up one spot on the 40-man roster, which the Astros will need as they separate the sheep from the goats this week.
