Joe Thatcher has been DFA'd by the Astros as they have called up Vince Velasquez to take his place on the 40-man roster. (Hardballtalk)
Fantasy Impact:
Thatcher filled a nice hole in the Astros bullpen as a lefty specialist owning a 3.79 ERA in 19 innings, but those numbers were not good enough to warrant a roster spot any longer. Thatcher should latch on with a team down the stretch who needs a consistent veteran presence out of the bullpen.
