The Houston Astros have agreed to acquire Ryan Pressly from the Minnesota Twins for right-hander Jorge Alcala and center fielder Gilberto Celestino.

Pressly was 1-1 with a 3.40 ERA (47 2/3 innings pitched, 18 earned runs), 19 walks and 69 strikeouts for the Twins this season. 

"He can bring a lot, he has a good arm and has had success in the 'pen," Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. "I don't know him but I know his track record, so he's somebody we looked at pretty hard and you know he fits how we like to pitch and he fits in a lot of different roles for us."
