Another staff member is departing Houston after one season.

First-year Astros bullpen coach Doug White is set to become the Angels' pitching coach, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Assistant hitting coach Jeff Albert was named the Cardinals hitting coach on Monday.

It's a return home for White, a southern California native who attended Arizona State University. He'll work for first-year Angels manager Brad Ausmus, who played 10 of his 18 seasons in Houston.

White, like Albert, spent time in the Cardinals minor league system before general manager Jeff Luhnow lured him to Houston. This was White's sixth season within the Astros' organization, but first on the major league staff.

Before he was named bullpen coach this offseason, White was Houston's minor league pitching coordinator from 2016-17 and a roving pitching instructor from 2014-15.

White replaced Craig Bjornson, who became Alex Cora's bullpen coach in Boston.
