Brad Ausmus, former bench coach for the New York Yankees, has been named the new manager of the Houston Astros. Ausmus, who played for the Astros from 1997 to 1998 and again from 2001 to 2008, brings extensive experience to the role, having previously managed the Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Angels. His appointment follows the Astros' decision not to renew the contract of Joe Espada, who was swept by the Chicago White Sox in the Wild Card Series. Ausmus's managerial career includes a 90-72 record with the Tigers in 2014, leading them to the AL Central title, and a 72-90 record with the Angels in 2019. His return to Houston marks the third managerial position in his career.
