Astros say Jeremy Peña exits with hamstring cramp

Rangel gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out four. He fell to 0-3 with the loss. Rangel gave up two runs in the first inning on a two-run home run to Francisco Lindor. He allowed three more runs in the second inning during a rally that included four hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly. Rangel has a 5.40 ERA heading into his start against the Yankees at home next weekend. He’s not worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Rodriguez has a chance to be a multi-inning option for a bullpen game against the Dodgers. The 22-year-old will likely be sent right back down to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre regardless if he pitches during that contest or not.

McLean gave up two hits, walked two and struck out 10. He improved to 7-6 with the win. McLean had been pitching well in his last three starts entering Sunday with only two runs allowed in 18 innings with 19 strikeouts. Against the Phillies, he was dominant with 10 strikeouts and only four baserunners allowed. McLean has a 3.34 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Dodgers at home next weekend.

Yarbrough will get the lefties at the top of the lineup for the Dodgers, and while he has a starting background, it seems unlikely he’ll go more than an inning or two. Obviously, that doesn’t give him much of a chance for fantasy success, even before you consider those lefties he’ll be facing are pretty good.

Mesa’s home run was his seventh of the season. He hit an inside-the-park home run off Sonny Gray in the second inning. Mesa hit a line drive to centerfield that got by Ceddanne Rafaela. He rounded third base and the throw to home plate actually beat him there, but the catcher couldn’t come up with ball and Mesa was credited with an inside-the-park home run. He’s hitting .216 with a .760 OPS and 14 RBI.
