The Astros traded Stoffel to the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. | ||||||
Stoffel posted a 4.91 ERA in 35 relief appearances with Triple-A Fresno this season, but he did give up just 35 hits and struck out 50 batters in 44 innings. He will report to Double-A Bowie and join the bullpen there. | ||||||

In three spring appearances, Stoffel allowed an earned run on one hit and three walks with two strikeouts over 3.1 innings. He also earned a save in two opportunities. Stoffel will likely open 2015 with Triple-A Fresno after going 5-4 with 11 saves, a 3.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 68:28 K:BB ratio over 64.2 innings at the same level last year. | ||||||

Stoffel recorded the final out of the Astros' 6-3 win over the Phillies on Thursday to earn his first save of the spring. | ||||||
Stoffel has 89 saves over six minor league seasons, including 11 last season for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he's not expected to emerge as a frontrunner for the Astros' closer role or even break camp with the team in 2015. | ||||||
