The Cardinals were open to a quick recall for Gorman if he started out hot in Triple-A, but it hasn’t happened. It looks like he might be a non-factor for the rest of the season.

Ward was responsible for the lone Angel run with a solo blast off an otherwise strong Yusei Kikuchi. The 30-year-old has now gone deep 25 times, which adds to his already career high. Ward frustrates with inconsistency, but there are just enough moments like this to want to have a player like him on your roster.

Singleton came up big with a two-run double with two outs i the eighth to give the Astros the 3-1 lead and ultimately the victory. Singleton has now driven in 41 runs in 2024, and he’s hit well in September with a .913 OPS over 38 at-bats.

There were many who criticized the Kikuchi trade, but so far, the Astros have to be thrilled with the results. The southpaw has allowed only more than two runs in just one of his starts, and while he doesn’t get the win, he once again kept the Astros in the game and helped fantasy managers in the process. He will be back on the mound Wednesday against the Mariners in what could be a clinching situation for Houston.

Suarez was making his first start as a member of the rotation and it went very well. The left-hander struck out five and allowed just three hits against a quality Houston lineup. Suarez will get one more start before the season ends, and it could bode well in attempting to win a rotation spot to begin 2025.

Assad gave up a pair of run-scoring singles; one of them by CJ Abrams in the first and a two-run knock by Jose Tena in the third. The right-hander wasn’t horrible while picking up the victory, but far from dominant; not that anyone was expecting dominance from the 27-year-old. Assad still has a strong 3.34 ERA on the campaign, and his last start of the year will be Wednesday against the Phillies.

Corbin allowed a pair of runs on a two-run blast by Seiya Suzuki, but he was consistently in trouble with eight hits allowed in the contest. The 35-year-old was at one point one of the best left-handed pitchers in baseball. He’s now someone you should look to stack your lineup against. Time is not always kind. Corbin’s final start of 2024 is scheduled to be against the Royals next Thursday.

The save was Chapman’s 10th of the season. He has a 4.03 ERA on the year, but he’s still effective enough to have fantasy value as long as he’s getting saves.

Kiner-Falefa has at least two hits in four of his last five games. He’s 9-for-20 (.450) with no home runs and one RBI in that time. The Pirates leadoff man is hitting .276 with a .705 OPS and 43 RBI on the year.
