Trammell cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trammell signed a split contract with Houston in November that would've paid him $900,000 if he were in the big leagues, but it now appears that he will begin the 2026 campaign in the minors. The 28-year-old outfielder owns a .632 OPS over 494 plate appearances in his big-league career and likely wouldn't serve as more than a bench piece if he made it back to the majors in '26.

Trammell signed a one-year, split contract with the Astros on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trammell was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 21, one day after he suffered a cervical muscle strain as well as a concussion following a collision with the outfield wall. His ability to return to full workouts suggests that he's made some progress in his recovery from both injuries, but the Astros haven't offered up a clear timeline for his return.

Trammell remains in concussion protocol along with his neck injury according to Astros manager Joe Espada on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros placed Trammell on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a cervical muscle strain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trammell suffered the injury in Wednesday's game versus the Tigers when he collided with the outfield wall. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 31, but it's unclear whether he will be ready to go on that date or need more time.

Astros manager Joe Espada said after Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Tigers that Trammell is dealing with neck and back stiffness and will be evaluated for a concussion, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trammell was carted off the field in the bottom of the first inning, after a face-first collision outfield wall while he pursued a deep fly ball off the bat of Dillon Dingler that fell in for a triple. Though Trammell will travel with the team to Baltimore for its four-game series that begins Thursday, he'll be put through further diagnostic testing before the Astros can definitively rule out a concussion. Jacob Melton replaced Trammell in center field Wednesday and is likely to start at the position in Thursday's series opener.

Trammell required assistance off the field with a cart in the bottom of the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Tigers after colliding with the outfield wall, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trammell's availability heading into Wednesday had been in some question after he landed hard on a catch in the outfield during the ninth inning of Tuesday's 1-0 loss, but he received clearance to enter the lineup for the series finale. However, Trammell departed from the contest without logging a plate appearance, as he made hard contact with the wall while pursuing a Dillon Dingler deep fly to center field that fell in for a triple. The Astros should have an update on the nature and severity of Trammell's injury later Wednesday.

Trammell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Trammell's time as a strong-side platoon player for Houston looks to be over, as the left-handed-hitting outfielder finds himself on the bench for the third time in the Astros' last five matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Jack Flaherty). With just one hit in 15 at-bats and a 2:7 BB:K over his last six games, Trammell hasn't helped his case for earning regular starts in center field. Jacob Melton appears to have usurped Trammell as the Astros' preferred option in center against right-handed pitching.
