Short fortifies New York’s middle infield depth heading into next season after hitting .220/.291/.380 with two homers across 56 plate appearances over 30 games for the Astros this past season. The 30-year-old journeyman shortstop is the prototypical emergency stopgap option for an organization like the Yankees after getting into 243 games in the big leagues between five different teams over the past half-decade.

Short predictably went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week to make room for Carlos Correa’s return to Houston.

Short finally got the Astros on the board with his 340-foot (95.3 mph EV) two-run shot off of Jeffrey Springs in the fifth inning, but all that did was pull the Astros to within seven runs at 9-2. The 30-year-old infielder has done a decent job in his limited action with the Astros this season, slashing .243/.300/.459 with a pair of long balls and seven RBI.

Short came in as a pinch-runner, and then came up big with a one-out single to score Cam Smith to give Houston the win. The 30-year-old journeymen has done a decent job since being promoted a little over a week ago with a .278/.350/.389 slash, but obviously that doesn’t offer much fantasy value even before considering his lack of playing time.

Short receives the call to replace an injured Luis Guillorme (hamstring) on Houston’s bench ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Rockies at Coors Field. The 30-year-old infielder bounced around last year, getting into 42 games between the Mets, Red Sox and Braves.
