Moran, 23, was a 2013 first round pick of the Miami Marlins out of North Carolina. He was traded to the Astros as part of the Jarred Cosart trade in July 2014. The Astros had sent out scouts and Jeff Luhnow in person to watch Moran play with the Tarheels before the team selected Mark Appel first overall that year.

Moran is currently batting .288 (36x125) with 12 runs scored, seven doubles, three home runs, 22 RBIs, .331 OBP, .416 SLG, and .747 OPS.

It isn't necessarly a surprise to see Moran come up this season, but the question who will be coming off the 40-man roster to make room for him?
