Astros signed RHP Hayden Wesneski to a one-year, $975,000 contract to avoid arbitration.

Wesneski posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 29/6 K/BB ratio in six starts (32 innings) for the Astros in 2025 before being sidelined with an elbow injury. He later underwent Tommy John surgery at the end of May and will likely not return to Houston until some point in the summer of 2026.
