The Astros are making a move to strengthen their starting pitching by acquiring Yusei Kikuchi from the Toronto Blue Jays.
Kikuchi is a talented left-handed pitcher who has shown a lot of growth this season, posting a career-best 3.86 ERA.
He brings a fastball that can reach 97 mph and has improved his control, making him a valuable addition to the Astros' pitching staff.
The trade, which involves sending pitcher Jake Bloss to Toronto, will likely help the Astros make a strong push for the playoffs.
