The Astros signed Weiss to a one-year contract Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weiss is getting a major-league contract after spending part of 2023 in independent ball and the last two seasons with the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization. The right-hander had an excellent 2025 campaign with the Eagles, posting a 2.87 ERA and 207:56 K:BB over 178.2 innings covering 30 starts. Weiss -- who turns 29 next week -- will be used as a starting pitcher by the Astros. He has not appeared in a major-league game.

Weiss cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Weiss was claimed off waivers by the Royals at the beginning of July, and he posted a 7.57 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 35.2 innings over 30 relief appearances at Omaha. He'll remain with the Triple-A club after losing his spot on the Royals' 40-man roster.

Weiss was claimed off waivers by the Royals on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Omaha.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks designated Weiss for assignment last weekend, but the Royals deemed him worthy of a 40-man spot. Matt Peacock was DFA'd to make room for Weiss, who has mostly struggled at Triple-A the past two seasons. He will likely need to improve upon his 7.45 ERA at that level this year in order to get a look in Kansas City.

Weiss was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Weiss was added to the 40-man roster in November but failed to make the Opening Day roster, and he's been removed from the 40-man roster without seeing the majors. The 25-year-old has a 7.45 ERA, 2.28 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB in seven appearances for Triple-A Reno this year.
