    • Anthony Rendon (hamstring) close to game-ready
      Anthony Rendon thinks he’s close to returning from a partially torn left hamstring.

      Advice: Fortunately, Rendon is open to going on a rehab assignment, though he doesn’t seem to think he really needs one. Considering that he’s missed more than two months and was hardly tearing it up before getting hurt (.267/.325/.307 in 19 games), it would be for the best if he spent a few days in the minors.

    • Report: Astros add Omar Narváez on Triple-A deal
      The Astros have signed Omar Narváez to a minor league deal, according to KPRC2’s Ari Alexander.

      Advice: The Astros might be more worried about Victor Caratini’s hip injury than they were originally. If Caratini can’t return after the break, Narváez could overtake César Salazar to become Yainer Diaz’s backup. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
       
    • Gets MiLB deal from Houston
      Narvaez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Astros on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

      Advice: Narvaez was released by the Mets earlier this month after slashing .192/.254/.259 over 215 plate appearances since the start of the 2023 campaign. The left-handed-hitting catcher will offer experienced depth at Triple-A Sugar Land for now but could be a candidate to join the big-league roster soon with Victor Caratini (hip) expected to be out until after the All-Star break.

    • Getting fifth straight start
      Loperfido will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Loperfido will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run through his first four games since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston has room in its everyday outfield for both Loperfido and Chas McCormick for the moment, but one of the two will likely lose out on playing time once Kyle Tucker (shin) makes his return from the 10-day injured list, perhaps as soon as next week.

    • Not in starting nine
      Adell is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

      Advice: It looks to be a routine day off after Adell had started the last four games and 12 of the previous 13 contests. Kevin Pillar will patrol right field for the Angels on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

    • Idle Wednesday
      McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: After starting each of the last three games, McCormick will be the odd man out of the Astros outfield on Wednesday with Houston clearing a spot in left field for Yordan Alvarez, who typically serves as the team's designated hitter. McCormick could be forced to the bench on a more frequent basis once Kyle Tucker (shin) returns from the injured list, though it's not yet clear when Tucker might rejoin the big club while he rehab program has proceeded more slowly than anticipated.

    • Losing out on playing time
      Cabbage is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Cabbage and Chas McCormick had been sharing time in right field as of last week while Kyle Tucker (shin) remains on the injured list, but Cabbage seems to have fallen out of favor in the wake of Joey Loperfido's promotion from Triple-A Sugar Landon Friday. With Loperfido presenting Houston with another lefty-hitting option in the outfield, Cabbage now finds himself on the bench for a fourth straight game. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

    • Day off Wednesday
      O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

      Advice: O'Hoppe had started each of the previous 11 games -- including 10 of them at catcher -- so the Angels have determined it was time to give him a breather. Matt Thaiss will be behind the plate for the Halos in Wednesday's series finale. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
       
    • Getting day off
      Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Dubon will get the afternoon off after he had started in each of Houston's last 15 games. Though he's served mostly as a utility player during that stretch, Dubon appears to have found a home of late at first base, where he made each of his last three starts. Jon Singleton will step in for Dubon on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
