Astros acquired LHP Travis Blackley from the Athletics in exchanged for OF Jake Goebbert. Blackley was designated for assignment last week after failing to crack the Opening Day roster, but he's now found himself back in the majors. The left-hander will likely worth out of the bullpen initially, but he could be an option for the Astros' rotation eventually. Blackley posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 20 appearances -- 15 starts -- with the A's in 2012.
