The Houston Astros have parted ways with General Manager Dana Brown, the team announced Tuesday. The decision comes as the Astros remain in contention for the division title, making the timing of the move notable.

The exact reasons for the decision were not immediately provided. Brown’s role involved overseeing player development and roster construction for the major league club. The team’s performance this season, coupled with the state of its minor league depth, are understood to be contributing factors leading to the change.
Further details regarding the circumstances of Brown’s departure and any subsequent organizational changes were not immediately available. The Astros organization has not released further comment on the matter.
