Gage was placed on release waivers last week by the Blue Jays after he was designated for assignment. He'll now join the defending World Series champions.
The twenty-nine-year-old made his major league debut last season and was impressive, recording a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 12 strikeouts over 13 innings with the Blue Jays.
Gage spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Buffalo, where he posted an equally impressive 2.34 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 46 strikeouts across 42.1 innings of work.
It's a low-risk high reward addition by the Astros.
