Mauricio Dubón will handle second base during Monday’s series opener against the Cardinals with Rodgers missing his fourth consecutive game with left hip soreness. There’s no indication he’ll require a trip to the injured list, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Peña is 8-for-17 in four games since moving into the leadoff spot for the Astros. Because of his middling averages and poor walk rates, Peña has never made much sense at the top of the order. This year, though, he does have a respectable eight-percent walk rate that’s more than twice as high as his 2024 mark. He’s also raised his average from .247 to .282 the last four days.

It’s a one-and-done for Blubaugh, who was charged with seven runs — two earned — over four innings on Wednesday in his big-league debut against the Tigers. He struck out six and only issued one walk. There simply isn’t a spot for him in Houston with Lance McCullers Jr. (elbow) set to make his long-awaited return from the injured list.

This is Dezenzo’s fifth start in the team’s last six games. Chas McCormick and Jake Meyers don’t have the team’s confidence right now, so the Astros are turning to Dezenzo to see if he can get this offense going. The 24-year-old is hitting .270/.308/.324 on the season, but he does have an elevated 36 percent strikeout rate. Still, if he can provide an offensive spark, the Astros will continue to get him in the lineup, especially with Cam Smith starting to get reps in center field.

The Mets called on Waddell for the spot-appearance as they’re in the midst of a 26 games in 27 days stretch and he performed as well as anyone could have hoped. He followed opener Huascar Brazobán the funky, left-handed Waddell was lethal over his 60-pitch outing. He retired the final eight batters he faced and forced a swing-and-miss with all five of his pitches. Those five pitches all got some real use too, as he threw each at least 12% of the time and he looked passable as a spot-starter.

Rivas figures to be a lineup fixture in Seattle for the near future. He’s yet to pick up an extra-base hit, but he’s 11-for-30 with nine walks, giving him a .513 OBP. He’s also 3-for-3 stealing bases.
