Marlins trade RHP Lindstrom to Astros (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Houston Astros got hard-throwing reliever Matt Lindstrom from Florida on Wednesday, hoping he can help fill a late-inning hole in their bullpen. Houston sent two low-level minor leaguers and a player to be named to the Marlins. Lindstrom features a fastball that can reach 100 mph, though he sometimes has trouble harnessing all that power.
