The Astros optioned Coleman to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Coleman struggled heavily in the majors last season, posting an 8.84 ERA and 2.02 WHIP across 18.1 innings with the Royals.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Gets walked off
Rotowire
Coleman (0-2) allowed two runs on one hit and a hit-by-pitch without recording an out to take the loss Monday versus the Athletics.
Coleman plunked Ryan Noda and then served up a walk-off two-run home run to Brent Rooker in the ninth inning. The right-hander has nine appearances in August, but he's completed an inning in just three of them. He's given up five runs (four earned) over 5.2 frames this month, and a 7:7 K:BB and four hit batsmen indicates unsteady control. Overall, Coleman has an 8.84 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 21:19 K:BB through 18.1 innings this season.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Takes first loss
Rotowire
Coleman (0-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Mariners.
Coleman loaded the bases with an error, a hit and a walk, and then yielded a sacrifice fly. The Mariners held the lead the rest of the way, sticking Coleman with his first loss in 21 major-league appearances this year. He's avoided taking more defeats simply because the Royals are often already behind when he pitches. For the year, he's managed an awful 8.31 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 20:18 K:BB through 17.1 innings, though he's also managed to earn four holds.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Decent work in spring
Rotowire
Coleman has allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over three innings across three Cactus League appearances.
Coleman was one of the Royals' more effective relievers in 2022, posting a 2.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 71:37 K:BB and 16 holds over 68 games. The walk issues are still popping up this spring, and Coleman's 3.87 FIP last year suggests regression could be on the way if he can't improve at limiting baserunners.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: Collects second win
Rotowire
Coleman (2-1) walked one and struck out none in a scoreless inning to earn the win Tuesday versus the Angels.

Across eight innings in June, Coleman has allowed one run, three hits and six walks with nine strikeouts. He's added two holds and a win in that span, though control remains an issue for the hard-throwing right-hander. Overall, he's logged a 3.18 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 33:23 K:BB and three holds in 28.1 innings this season without presenting much of a challenge to Scott Barlow for the closer role.

Coleman was tasked with the seventh inning in a 3-2 game, but he didn't do so well.

Royals' Dylan Coleman: On Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Coleman made the Royals' Opening Day roster, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old right-hander got his first taste of major-league action last season, allowing one run on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 6.1 innings. Coleman made the Opening Day roster because fellow reliever Joel Payamps (personal) was placed on the family medical emergency list. As such, Coleman will need to hit the ground running if he's to retain a spot in the big-league bullpen. He was solid with a 3.55 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:17 K:BB while logging a 4-0 record and three saves with Triple-A Omaha in the latter half of last season.
