Astros declined RHP Ryan Weiss’s $5 million club option for 2027.

The 29-year-old hurler was removed from the Astros’ 40-man roster back in June after posting a miserable 7.62 ERA and a 30/20 K/BB ratio over 26 innings in his nine appearances, so declining his option seemed like a foregone conclusion. Weiss is now free to explore the open market.
