Ben Gamel will return to the Houston Astros. According to MLB.com, Gamel signed a one-year $1.2 million deal with a $200,000 signing bonus. The other $1 million is not guaranteed unless he makes the team out of Spring Training.

Seeking a left-handed outfielder, the Astros agreed to a contract with Ben Gamel to bring the veteran back after a brief stint with Houston last season.

“Outfielder Ben Gamel and the Houston Astros are in agreement on a one-year, $1.2 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Gamel's deal is a major league contract that includes a $200,000 signing bonus, and the remaining $1 million is non-guaranteed,” Jeff Passan of ESPN reported in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The Astros are re-signing Ben Gamel to a one-year major league contract. The Wasserman client has reportedly already passed his physical. He is guaranteed a $200K signing bonus and would secure a $1M base salary if he breaks camp.
