Osuna hasn't appeared in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign due to a partially-torn UCL in his right elbow, and was non-tendered by the Astros last offseason. He also served a 75-game suspension back in 2018 for violating the league's domestic violence policy. The 27-year-old former closer signed in Japan last June and went on to compile a 0.91 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 32/3 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings (29 appearances).

Osuna hasn't pitched since 2020 due to a partially torn UCL in his right elbow which he elected to rest and rehab. He's just 27 and his track record speaks for itself, but Osuna obviously comes with plenty of baggage between his elbow issue and past domestic violence suspension.

Heyman adds that Osuna, who is attempting to pitch through a partially torn UCL, has been talking to teams this offseason. The 26-year-old righty elected free agency after passing through waivers unclaimed back in October. He was projected to earn roughly $10 million in salary arbitration before being ostensibly non-tendered by the Astros. He was limited to just four appearances during the truncated 2020 campaign due to a right elbow injury. It's also necessary to remember that he was suspended 75 games for violating the league's domestic violence policy back in 2018.

Osuna cleared outright waivers and will hit the open market after the Astros decided they didn't want to pay him what he'll command in his final year of arbitration eligibility. He is attempting to pitch through a partially torn UCL.
