Astros reliever Collin McHugh is part of the 29-player MLB roster which will participate in next month's Japan All-Star Series, Major League Baseball announced Monday morning.

McHugh will be joined by Houston pitching coach Brent Strom, who will have the same role on manager Don Mattingly's six-person coaching staff.

The seven-game series will take place in three Japanese cities — Tokyo, Nagoya and Hiroshima — while spanning eight days from Nov. 8-15.

The Japan All-Star Series, which dates back to 1908, was last played in 2014. Astros players Jose Altuve and Chris Carter each participated that season. Team MLB will play an exhibition against the Yomiuri Giants on Nov. 8 before the All-Star Series begins.

In his first season as a full-time reliever, McHugh possessed the fourth-lowest ERA, WHIP and on-base percentage among American League relievers.
