San Diego Padres Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Padres’ offensive woes have led team brass to DFA Nick Castellanos (who was good for a homer here and there, but was otherwise mostly unusable in fantasy) and call up AAA reinforcements in Jase Bowen, Rodolfo Durán (originally called up in early May for backup duties due to C Luis Campusano’s broken toe, now the everyday lineup replacement for C Freddy Fermin who is on the concussion IL), and Samad Taylor.

Houston Astros With Hunter Brown’s return looming, the Astros will need to decide on their starting rotation. They currently have Spencer Arrighetti, Kai-Wei Teng, Peter Lambert, Tatsuya Imai, and Mike Burrows. All have their flaws, some more than others. The Astros could go with a 6-man rotation; it’s something they have mentioned in the past, but if they don’t, who is the odd man out? Arrighetti, the man with a 4.36 xERA and 12% BB%, will likely stick around for now.
