Harris secured a spot on the Astros' Opening Day roster, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.
In nine Grapefruit League appearances, Harris posted a 2.45 ERA and 5:2 K:BB over 11 innings. The 30-year-old right-hander carried a 10.86 K/9 last year, but how he performs in the opening weeks this season will determine his future with the Astros, as Josh Fields (groin) isn't expected to be on the DL past mid-April.

Harris was claimed off waivers Monday by the Astros, the Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro reports.
The 30-year-old right-handed reliever posted a 0.99 ERA in 45.2 innings at Triple-A and a 4.34 ERA in 29 innings with the Diamondbacks last season. Despite the large ERA against big league hitters, he also had a 29.2 percent K-rate, and has the upside to miss some bats in the later innings.

Harris has struck out 13 batters over 8 1/3 innings this spring, but he has also allowed nine runs on 10 hits (including two home runs) and three walks. He should be back with the big club soon, but right-hander Mike Bolsinger will take his place on the roster for now.

Will Harris was roughed up for five runs on three hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Harris entered the game with the D'Backs up 5-3, but he allowed five of the seven batters he faced to reach base, with Angel Pagan providing the knockout blow in the form of a three-run homer. Manager Kirk Gibson has used Harris as his primary right-handed setup man in the early going, but he seems likely to use J.J. Putz and Brad Ziegler more in the eighth inning going forward.
