Tejada was signed by the Astros as an international free agent in 2014 out of the Dominican Republic. Last year, in his fourth season in the organization, Tejada pitched for the Tri-City ValleyCats. The right-hander went 4-5 with a 4.50 ERA and struck 66 opposing hitters in 54.0 innings of work.

Neither player has been assigned a jersey number at this time. An update will follow when they have been assigned a number. The active roster remains at the 25-player limit.
