The Astros optioned Weiss to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Weiss was lit up for seven runs (six earned) over 4.1 innings during Monday's loss to the Dodgers, inflating his ERA to 7.62 to go with a 2.12 WHIP through 26 innings on the year. He'll now head back to the minors to right the ship, and Jason Alexander will come up from Triple-A to round out Houston's bullpen.

Ryan Weiss: Breaking News
Surrenders sevens runs in loss
Weiss (0-3) took the loss in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings. Entering after opener Steven Okert recorded two outs, Weiss struggled in bulk relief as the Dodgers lineup did significant damage. The 29-year-old has yet to find his footing in 2026, allowing runs in seven of his nine appearances this season. With a 7.62 ERA and 2.12 WHIP across 26 innings, Weiss will likely continue to operate in a long-relief role and will need to turn things around quickly to keep his spot on the roster secure.
Back from paternity list
The Astros reinstated Weiss (personal) from the paternity list Sunday. After he was away from the team for the last three days while welcoming a new addition to his family, Weiss has rejoined the Astros ahead of their series finale in Boston. The Astros haven't clarified what Weiss's role will look like moving forward, but he could be available out of the bullpen to cover multiple innings behind Cody Bolton, who will open Sunday's contest but likely isn't stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload. If Weiss isn't used Sunday, he'll be a candidate to start or work in bulk relief during Monday's series opener versus the Dodgers.
