Astros manager Joe Espada divulged to reporters that Rodgers has been dealing with the issue for the past few days, but was able to field ground balls prior to Saturday’s contest. It’ll be Jose Altuve covering the keystone on Saturday evening with Rodgers missing his second straight contest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

It was the only hit of the game for Walker, but if you’re only going to get one hit, you might as well make it a homer. Walker has gone deep four times in his first year with the Astros, but is still slashing an ugly .192/.273/.354 over the first 27 games of the campaign. Those numbers will improve, but there’s no denying the first sixth of the season has been a disappointing one for the veteran first baseman.

Altuve hit second behind Jeremy Peña again — with Peña going 2-for-4 and scoring a pair of runs in the contest — and it went well for the 34-year-old. He socked a two-run blast off Jack Flaherty that gave the Astros a 4-3 lead in the sixth, and he picked up his third RBI of the day with a fielder’s choice in the seventh. Altuve is now hitting .282/.316/.409 on the season, and while that’s a far cry from his best campaigns, it’s also far from unuseable as well.

Edman came up big for the Dodgers with a two-run single in the bottom of the 10th that turned a 6-5 deficit into a victory. Edman has now driven in 21 runs in 28 games, and that hit sees him slashing .248/.288/.514 on the young campaign. Edman’s average leaves much to be desire, but he’s made up for it with the power and run production.

McLain snapped an 0-for-21 hitless streak with a seventh-inning single and immediately swiped second base for his fourth theft of the season. The 25-year-old speedster has gotten off to an ice-cold start this season, hitting .162 (12-for-74) with four homers and four steals through 20 games. We’re anticipating he’ll turn things around soon simply because he’s way too talented to continue struggling for much longer.

The triple should have been a single, but Alex Call made a flailing dive at it and watched it roll by him. McNeil’s homer was more impressive, traveling a projected 420 feet to right-center. Barring a correction, that’s the farthest he’s hit a ball since 2019. He topped out at 402 feet last year and 400 feet in 2023.
