Rockies Get Matt Lindstrom From Astros

Filed under: , , ,

Matt LindstromThe Colorado Rockies have added to their bullpen depth by acquiring reliever Matt Lindstrom from the Houston Astros.

Houston will receive two minor-league pitchers -- left-handed pitcher Wes Musick and right-handed pitcher Jonnathan Aristil -- in return.

Lindstrom, who will turn 31 in February, has closing experience with 43 career saves in four big-league seasons, but he figures to serve more in a setup role in front of Rockies closer Huston Street.

The right-hander went 2-5 with a 4.39 ERA last year, racking up 43 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings. He is eligible for arbitration for the second time this winter. Lindstrom earned $1.625 million in 2010 with Houston.
