Astros finally make a move, pick up Tyler Clippard from White Sox Astros finally make a move, pick up Tyler Clippard from White Sox It took a few weeks after the trade deadline, but the Houston Astros have finally made a move. The team struck Sunday night, acquiring reliever Tyler Clippard on waivers from the Chicago White Sox. It’s the second time Clippard has been traded this season. The 32-year-old began the year with the New York Yankees, but was shipped to Chicago in the David Robertson, Todd Frazier and Tommy Kahnle deal. Over 46 1/3 innings, he’s posted a 4.27 ERA. Most of Clippard’s poor performances came as a member of the Yankees. In 36 1/3 innings in New York, Clippard had a 4.95 ERA. With the White Sox, he seemed to figure things out, posting a 1.80 ERA over 10 innings.
