OF Fernando Martinez has been claimed on waivers by the Houston Astros. Martinez was waived two days ago after being designated for assignment. Martinez, a former top prospect, batted .227 with one home run and two runs batted in last season. Houston, who had the worst record in the Majors last year, was the first team eligible to put in a claim for Martinez.
LHP Daniel Ray Herrera, who was waived along with Martinez, cleared waivers and will remain with the team with the Buffalo Bisons and is expected to report to Spring Training as a non-roster invitee. Herrera was eligible to become a free agent if he cleared waivers but opted to stay with the Mets.
Martinez and Herrera were waived to make room on the 40-man roster for IF Ronny Cedeno and OF Scott Hairston.
