Walker got off to a horrendous start to this season after an oblique injury derailed his spring training. It’s not much, but he’s quietly hitting .237 with three home runs and seven RBI over his last 15 games now. Walker is still hitting just .200 with nine RBI and a .623 OPS on the season making him an interesting buy-low option for fantasy managers.

Blanco was solid for five of six innings, but the third inning wasn’t one of those frames. He gave up an RBI single to William Contreras, and a two-run homer to Christian Yelich in that frame. Outside of that it was solid for the 31-year-old, just one where he received just a single run of support. Blanco will pitch again Sunday versus the Reds if there’s no change to the rotation order.

Not great. Alvarez heads to the injured list after sitting out a pair of games over the weekend with a lingering right hand issue. Astros manager Joe Espada didn’t seem too concerned over the weekend, so this certainly qualifies as a mild surprise. No word yet on how much time he’s going to miss, but we’re not anticipating an extended absence. There should be some much-needed clarity on his status at some point this week after Alvarez undergoes further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue.

It’s difficult to read too much into the Astros’ lineup Sunday with Yordan Alvarez, Cam Smith and Chas McCormick on the bench. Still, Dezenzo seems to be getting more playing time lately and he rewarded the Astros’ faith Sunday with two hits and his first home run of the year. Dezenzo isn’t going to set the world on fire with his bat, but he’s up to a .283 average and could be an option in deeper formats if playing time continues to break his way.

The homer was a two-run shot off Sandy Alcantara in the third. Freeman is the active major league leader in hits, RBI, runs scored and doubled, but he’s a mere fourth in homers, trailing Giancarlo Stanton (429), Mike Trout (387) and Paul Goldschmidt (365).

The move was reported on Saturday and is now official. Turnbull will be optioned to the complex league in order to build up his pitch mix and get ready to push for a starting rotation spot. Max Scherzer was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room on the 40-man roster.
