The Astros declined Weiss's $5 million club option for 2027 on Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Weiss appeared in just nine games for the Astros this year, during which he gave up 22 earned runs in 26 innings while posting a 30:20 K:BB. His poor performance made declining his option a fairly easy decision, so the team will pay him a $500,000 buyout and send him to free agency. The 29-year-old will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal to land his next opportunity.

The Astros outrighted Weiss to Triple-A Sugar Land after he cleared waivers Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
After being designated for assignment by Houston on June 12, Weiss will remain with the Triple-A team after clearing waivers five days later. The 29-year-old has not pitched for the big-league club since May 4 and has struggled at the minor-league level through 20.1 innings.

The Astros designated Weiss for assignment Friday.
The Astros gave Weiss a major-league contract over the offseason after he spent time overseas, but he was sent down to Triple-A Sugar Land in early May after posting a 7.62 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 30:20 K:BB over 26 innings. Given his $2.6 million salary, he will likely clear waivers and remain at Sugar Land.

The Astros optioned Weiss to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Weiss was lit up for seven runs (six earned) over 4.1 innings during Monday's loss to the Dodgers, inflating his ERA to 7.62 to go with a 2.12 WHIP through 26 innings on the year. He'll now head back to the minors to try to right the ship, and Jason Alexander will come up from Triple-A to round out Houston's bullpen.

Weiss (0-3) took the loss in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Dodgers. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.
Entering after opener Steven Okert recorded two outs, Weiss struggled in bulk relief as the Dodgers lineup did significant damage. The 29-year-old has yet to find his footing in 2026, allowing runs in seven of his nine appearances this season. With a 7.62 ERA and 2.12 WHIP across 26 innings, Weiss will likely continue to operate in a long-relief role and will need to turn things around quickly to keep his spot on the roster secure.

The Astros reinstated Weiss (personal) from the paternity list Sunday.
The right-hander was away from the team for the last three days while welcoming a new addition to his family. The Astros haven't clarified what Weiss's role will look like, but he could be available out of the bullpen to cover multiple innings behind Cody Bolton, who will open Sunday's contest. If Weiss isn't used Sunday, he'll be a candidate to start or work in bulk relief during Monday's series opener versus the Dodgers.
