The Houston Astros have recalled former top prospect Forrest Whitley to join their bullpen, marking his Major League debut. Whitley, a right-handed pitcher, was once baseball's top pitching prospect and is taking the roster spot of RHP Spencer Arrighetti. Whitley's journey to the Majors has been notable for overcoming challenges such as injuries and a suspension in 2018 for violating the league's drug policy.
