Coleman was released by the Astros after making just one appearance with the club. Prior to that, he had a modicum of success as a member of the Royals. He’ll have an outside shot of winning a spot in the back of the Baltimore bullpen.

Coleman passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week in a move to free up a 40-man roster spot for top prospect Zach Dezenzo. He’ll presumably be able to latch on somewhere else as organizational relief depth.

Coleman made one relief appearance earlier this season and winds up losing his spot on Houston’s 40-man roster to make room for infield prospect Zach Dezenzo.

Coleman heads back to the minors with J.P. France set to return from paternity leave ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Rangers. The 27-year-old righty tossed a scoreless frame in his lone relief appearance for the Astros during his brief stint in the majors.
