Dustin Garneau: Becomes free agent
Garneau cleared outright waivers and elected free agency Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.comreports.Garneau didn't do much in 46 plate appearances as the Astros' backup catcher, hitting just .158/.273/.289. He'll likely be looking to land somewhere on a minor-league deal as a team's third catcher, given that he owns a 61 wRC+ in parts of six big-league campaigns.
