Despite his high standing with the Astros, Toro returned to Double-A Corpus Christi, where he would remain until Aug. 1.

To begin the month of August, Toro was a member of Triple-A ball club Round Rock Express. But his initial time there would be short-lived.

Just three weeks after his promotion, on Aug. 22, he made his Major League Baseball debut playing third base for the Astros.

It's a seismic shift in the young man's career, which gained the attention of MLB circles when he was at Oklahoma's Seminole Junior College in 2015.



He was a fifth-round pick of the Astros the following year and became lauded throughout the team's farm system between then and his MLB debut.
