Veras signed a minor league contract with the Astros on Friday. Veras has agreed to rejoin the Astros, with whom he spent most of the 2013-14 campaigns, after being released by the Braves toward the end of spring training. He will report to extended spring training to get ready for game action and will likely head to Triple-A Fresno before long, with the hope of getting the call up within a month or so. It's hard to imagine Veras will see any save chances.
