Straily has been traded to Houston in the Dexter Fowler deal. Straily will compete for a starting spot in Houston but isn't guaranteed one, per Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. To do so Straily will likely have to beat out Brett Oberholtzer or Brad Peacock, which should be considered a probable outcome. At his best, Straily can be at least an average pitcher, but his recent walk rate is worrying for his long-term outlook.
