The Houston Astros didn't exactly make a huge splash late Wednesday night before Thursday afternoon's MLB trade deadline. But the addition of infielder Ramón Urías could still have ripple effects on the American League pennant race over the next three months.

The Houston Astros traded for 31-year-old infielder Ramon Urias on Wednesday night. Urias played 77 games this season with the Baltimore Orioles and was hitting .248 on the season. He has eight home runs and has driven in 34 runs. The right-hander from Sonora, Mexico, was four-for-his last eight before being traded.

The Houston Astros got their third baseman, acquiring Ramon Urias and cash considerations from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday for minor-league pitching prospect Twine Palmer.
