Deduno has made the Astros' 25-man roster as a long reliever, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Deduno spent most of 2014 with the Twins before being placed on waivers late in the season and claimed by the Astros. While he spent time both as a starter and reliever last season, it appears he's bound solely for a bullpen role this campaign. However, injuries to the starting rotation could open up a spot for him.
