Cuban Pedro León, outfielder for the Houston Astros in Major League Baseball, signed an agreement and will represent the Estrellas Orientales in the winter baseball league in the Dominican Republic.

According to the report on the social media platform Facebook by specialized journalist Francys Romero, the right-handed batter, 26 years old, will join the team at the end of the upcoming month of November.

After several years of effort and notable results, the Antillean ranger received the long-awaited promotion from the Astros on July 30 and was activated on the official roster of the team in Major League Baseball.

Before the call-up, he had 19 home runs, 74 RBIs, and a .896 OPS in the current Triple-A season.

However, the results have not been the best at the first level, as he averages only .118, with just two hits in 17 official at-bats, one run scored, and an OPS of .285, according to MLB.com statistics.

It's worth noting that the Cuban signed with the Astros in January 2021 for four million dollars.

The Houston team is fighting to qualify for the postseason, currently showing a record of 63 wins and 55 losses. Tonight, they will play as the visiting team in the series against the Tampa Rays (59-59).
