Chambers will receive a 50-game suspension after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, Jenifer Lagosch of MLB.com reports.
Blue Jays acquired OF Adron Chambers from the Astros for LHP Alejandro Solarte and INF Will Dupont.
Chambers was batting .281/.356/.416 with two home runs and 15 RBI through 102 plate appearances this season for the Astros' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City. Known primarily for his speed, the 27-year-old had been caught on three of four stolen base attempts. He's doubtful to make any sort of positive impact in Toronto.
Astros reassigned OF Adron Chambers to minor league camp.
Chambers dealt with hamstring problems early in camp and never got on track offensively in Grapefruit League play. He'll be organizational depth for Houston.
Adron Chambers (hamstring) participated in baserunning and outfield drills Wednesday morning.
Chambers has been limited this spring due to hamstring discomfort. Assuming he comes out of Wednesday's workout feeling good, his Grapefruit League debut shouldn't be far off.
Adron Chambers (hamstring) did high intensity work on a stationary bike Sunday in Astros camp.
The expectation is that he'll be ready for spring games soon. Chambers, who's battling for a reserve outfield job, strained his hamstring in late February.
Adron Chambers will be limited in Astros camp Monday because of hamstring discomfort.
It doesn't sound major. Chambers signed a minor league contract with Houston in mid-January and is trying to win a reserve outfield job. He hit .216/.289/.295 over parts of three seasons with the Cardinals.
Astros signed OF Adron Chambers to a minor league contract.
He presumably will receive an invitation to spring training. Chambers hit just .216/.289/.295 in 99 plate appearances with St. Louis over parts of the last three seasons but has a career .284/.372/.401 line at the Triple-A level.
Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com hears that the Astros could be close to signing Adron Chambers.
It presumably would be a minor league deal. Chambers was outrighted off the Cardinals' 40-man roster earlier this month, and it's no surprise he's drawing interest from the Astros with the Jeff Luhnow connection. The 27-year-old has hit .216/.289/.295 over 99 plate appearances with St. Louis over parts of the last three seasons.
Cardinals sent OF Adron Chambers outright to Triple-A Memphis.
Chambers is a Quadruple-A center fielder who is running out of time to establish himself as a reserve outfielder in the big leagues. The 27-year-old, who has spent most of the past three seasons with Memphis, has slashed a putrid .216/.289/.295 over 99 plate appearances with St. Louis over parts of the last three seasons. He declared for free agency and will look for a minor league deal elsewhere.
Adron Chambers will not be on the Cardinals' roster for the World Series.
Allen Craig will take his place on the roster. Chambers went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts during the NLDS and NLCS.
