Fantasy Tip: Altuve has been one of the team's consistent bright spots on offense and should be owned in all leagues. Get him back in your lineups for this weekend.

Astros | Justin Maxwell starts swinging

Wed, 15 May 2013 12:33:25 -0700

Houston Astros OF Justin Maxwell (hand) has started lightly swinging a fungo bat as he recovers from a fractured left hand.

Fantasy Tip: Maxwell still needs significant time to come back from his injury. In the meantime, the Astros have drastically changed their outfield alignment, beginning when they released Rick Ankiel. Jimmy Paredes, Robbie Grossman and J.D. Martinez have earned consistent playing time, and depending on how they're playing when Maxwell returns, he may find himself without regular PT.

Astros | Team president resigns

Wed, 15 May 2013 00:01:26 -0700

George Postolos, who served as team president for the Houston Astros, has resigned his position. Postolos, who stepped down Monday, May 13, is an expert at helping teams in franchise acquisitions, which made him a match when Astros owner Jim Crane was in the process of buying the team. Marcel Braithwaite, the Astros' vice president and general manager of building operations, is viewed as one possible successor to Postolos.

Astros | Three OFs named regular starters

Tue, 14 May 2013 18:11:52 -0700

Houston Astros manager Bo Porter said before the game Monday, May 13, that OFs Robbie Grossman, J.D. Martinez and Jimmy Paredes will be his three starting outfielders. Porter said he wants to give the trio consistent playing time to determine if they're capable of being everyday players.

Fantasy Tip: Despite the regular playing time, only Martinez is worth a look in anything more than the deepest of NL-only fantasy leagues.

Astros | Jordan Lyles pushed up

Tue, 14 May 2013 18:11:18 -0700

Houston Astros manager Bo Porter announced Tuesday, May 14, that SP Jordan Lyles will slide up a day to pitch Friday, May 17, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Porter wants to break up his left-handed starters, and the scheduled off day Thursday, May 16, allows him to do that.

Astros | Erik Bedard has start pushed back

Tue, 14 May 2013 18:10:35 -0700

Houston Astros manager Bo Porter said Tuesday, May 14, that SP Erik Bedard will have his next started pushed back a day. The move is not performance-based, but Porter simply wants to split up his left-handed starting pitchers. Bedard's next scheduled start will now come Saturday, May 18, against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Astros | Bud Norris uncertain for next start

Tue, 14 May 2013 18:07:12 -0700

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros SP Bud Norris (back) remained sore Tuesday, May 14, and his status for his next scheduled start is uncertain. "It's pretty sore still," Norris said. "But (the trainers) said the next couple of days it will be painful." Manager Bo Porter said Norris is day to day, but the pitcher will undergo treatment over the next few days.

Fantasy Tip: Norris' status for Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates appears to be in some jeopardy, so reserve him in daily fantasy formats in favor of a healthier alternative. It doesn't sound like an injury which will land him on the 15-day disabled list at this time.

Astros | Jose Altuve's injury not serious

Tue, 14 May 2013 09:17:54 -0700

Houston Astros 2B Jose Altuve (jaw) said he fully intended to play Tuesday, May 14, after suffering a subluxed jaw Monday, May 13. He'll have to miss at least the next two days, though, after being placed on the bereavement list.

Fantasy Tip: Altuve could miss up to seven days on the bereavement list, and it's unknown how long he'll be away from the team. The good news is that his jaw wasn't seriously injured. Marwin Gonzalez and Ronny Cedeno are expected to be the starting middle infield tandem with Altuve out.
