    Astros GM Jeff Luhnow announced that the Astros have claimed right-hander Mark Hamburger off waivers from the Padres, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com (via Twitter). San Diego designated the 25-year-old for assignment on Thursday.

    Hamburger was designated for assignment twice inside of 30 days with the Rangers also DFA'ing him in June. The right-hander owns a career 3.99 ERA and 8.1 K/9 rate in 198 minor league games.

    He was signed by the Twins in 2007 after attending an open tryout.

    Good thing Carlos is gone. He'd be waiting by the clubhouse door if he heard the Astros had gotten a Hamburger.
