    • Astros recalled OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A
      Astros recalled OF Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land.

      Advice: The Astros needed a position player with the amount of injuries they’ve had. Loperfido hit .333 with one home run and five RBI in 39 at-bats in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. The 25-year-old could have fantasy value in mixed leagues if he’s able to stick in the lineup this time around. It’s either said than done, but he’ll have a real chance with Jose Abreu out of the picture and Kyle Tucker still on the injured list. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
       
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Astros recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

      Advice: Loperfido has hit .333/.381/.436 with one homer and one steal in 15 games with the Astros, although that's come with a 39.5 percent strikeout rate. All of Loperfido's action in the minors lately has come in the outfield, so that figures to be his best path to playing time right now with the big club. He has also been used some at first base.

    • To begin baseball activities
      Carpenter (back) hopes to resume baseball activities Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Carpenter had been shut down since late May due to a lumbar spine stress fracture but is ready to begin baseball activities in the coming days. While he's still a ways out from returning, it's the first advancement he's made since being placed on the IL. Expect Carpenter to require a multi-game minor-league rehab stint before being cleared. In the meantime, Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez should share the outfield with Riley Greene most nights. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago

    • Remains out of action
      Blackmon (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: It's the third straight contest he's missed as he deals with right hamstring tightness. The Rockies have been bullish on Blackmon's chances of avoid the injured list, but he'll have to be ready soon for that to happen. Hunter Goodman is at designated hitter and Sean Bouchard is in right field Friday. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
