The Astros placed right-handed reliever LaTroy Hawkins on trade waivers Monday, a development that should snap the Rockies, Cardinals and Dodgers to attention.
The Rockies, who have the worst record of the three, would get the first crack at Hawkins in the waiver process. Hawkins, owed less than $900,000 for the rest of the season, has held opponents to a .645 OPS in 48 2/3 innings.
--------------------------------------
The Cardinals could make one more big addition before the playoffs: Troy Glaus, who has yet to appear in the majors this season while recovering from shoulder surgery.
Glaus batted only .185 with one extra-base hit in his first 27 at-bats at Class AAA, but ultimately could provide right-handed power off the bench.
Because he is on the major-league disabled list, he would eligible for the postseason roster even if he is not activated by Sept. 1.
