    • Triston McKenzie claws out a win over the Reds
      Triston McKenzie allowed two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.

      Advice: The lanky right-hander allowed two extra-base hits and five hard-hit baseballs while striking out four and walking two. He induced just five whiffs on 31 swings for a 16 percent whiff rate and 23 percent CSW on the night. McKenzie had allowed 12 earned runs over 15 1/3 innings in his last three starts, so this was a much better performance, but he’s clearly not healthy and is not missing bats consistently which makes him risky for fantasy leagues. He currently lines up for a two-start week against the Mariners and Blue Jays next week. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Struggles in no-decision
      Ober escaped with a no-decision Sunday against Pittsburgh, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings.

      Advice: Ober did not allow a home run for the first time since May 12, but his recent struggles continued. The right-hander yielded three extra-base hits Sunday and has now given up multiple earned runs in five consecutive starts. During that span, the 28-year-old has limped to a 7.61 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP in 23.2 innings. Ober will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend versus Oakland.

    • Bailey Ober hit around in no-decision against PIT
      Bailey Ober allowed four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Sunday.

      Advice: This now marks five straight mediocre starts for Ober, who has allowed 20 earned runs in his last 23 1/3 innings over those five starts. It was easy to explain away Ober’s poor stats early in the season when he only had one bad start, but this has been a rough stretch. The tall right-hander saw his velocity up across his entire pitch mix today, and the Pirates certainly didn’t hit him overly hard, but he did allow seven hard-hit baseballs. There are no glaring red flags, and you have to keep Ober in your lineup for next week’s game against the Athletics. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:22 pm

    • Hunter Brown tosses six scoreless to beat Halos
      Hunter Brown struck out seven over six shutout innings on Saturday in a win over the Angels.

      Advice: Brown followed up Houston ace Framber Valdez’s complete-game effort on Friday evening with his fourth consecutive quality start, scattering two hits and four walks over six impressive frames. Los Angeles had him on the ropes in the opening frame, but he managed to escape a bases-loaded jam by striking out Matt Thaiss on a 98.2 mph heater to extinguish the early threat. The 25-year-old righty has rebounded from an abysmal start to the year by posting a posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 43/15 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings (seven appearances, six starts) since May 5. He’ll square off against the Tigers on Friday in his next outing. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:14 am
       
    • Works around four walks in win
      Brown (2-5) allowed two hits and four walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Angels on Saturday.

      Advice: Brown logged his fourth straight quality start, and he's given up just six runs with a 26:8 K:BB over 24 innings, though this is his only win over that stretch. It continues a positive trend for Brown, who is pitching deeper into games, though his 4.3 BB/9 on the year remains alarmingly high. The right-hander also has a 5.58 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 67:29 K:BB over 61.1 innings through 13 appearances (12 starts). He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Tigers.

    • Framber Valdez turns in complete game in 7-1 win
      Framber Valdez went the distance against the Angels tonight, striking out eight in the Astros’ 7-1 victory.

      Advice: This was the same team he gave up eight runs to on May 20. Valdez pitched a four-hitter in his seventh career complete game and first of 2024. He’s now 5-3 with a 3.53 ERA, and he’ll have a chance to keep it going against the Giants on Wednesday. Rotoworld Friday, 10:06 pm
       
    • Goes distance in win
      Valdez (5-3) tossed a complete game to earn the win Friday over the Angels, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over nine innings.

      Advice: The Astros' bullpen was fairly fresh, but Valdez took care of business himself in his seventh career complete game. The lone mistake on his line was a Kevin Pillar solo home run in the second inning. Valdez has quality starts in four of his last five outings, and his strong performance Friday lowered his ERA to 3.53 with a 1.15 WHIP and 50:18 K:BB over 63.2 innings through 10 starts this season. The southpaw is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Giants. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:44 pm
       
    • Cristian Javier undergoes Tommy John surgery
      The Astros announced that Cristian Javier underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Thursday.

      Advice: Javier will be sidelined into the second half of 2025. The Astros still owe him $52 million from 2025-27, so he will be back with the club once healthy. Rotoworld Friday, 3:08 pm
