Astros
• Hunter Brown may only get one more start before getting demoted.
Brown may only be guaranteed at least one more turn in the Astros’ rotation, but the impending return of Cristian Javier could force the club into a difficult decision between him and top prospect Spencer Arrighetti. That Brown sat in the bullpen during both of the team’s games in Mexico City as a long-relief insurance policy may have signaled its intentions.
Angels
• Over the last three games, Nolan Schanuel has hit leadoff.
• Luis Rengifo is consistently hitting in the top half of the lineup.
• Ehire Adrianza has started at third base in three of the last four games. Read the rest of this entry »

Cabrera’s getting the co-sign almost exclusively because of his core skills in this year’s small sample, while Rodón is getting credit for his longer term track record with a bit of his recent run adding confidence.
While the NFBC Main Event garners most of the attention, there are a handful of leagues with even a larger entry fee ($2.5K to $15K). They were originally named “High Stakes Leagues” and this year there are ten of them. With so much money on the line, these fantasy managers try to gain any advantage.
