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.

McCullers gave up three hits, including a homer, walked three and hit a batter during what turned out to be a 10-run first inning for the Reds. The Astros surely expected some inconsistency from McCullers after a more than two-year absence, and they’ll show some patience for now. McCullers’ stuff isn’t quite what it was, though, and he’ll need to be much sharper with it in order to succeed.

Caratini deserves better than being the backup to a quality catcher in Yainer Diaz, but not enough teams realized it when he was a free agent two winters ago. The Astros used both guys tonight, with Diaz going 2-for-4 with two RBI as a DH. Caratini is batting .255/.356/.431 in 59 plate appearances in his limited role.

He went 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving. It’s worth noting that Altuve’s exit comes in a game where Houston is trailing by five runs, so there’s at least a chance this is precautionary. He’ll likely undergo some testing before Sunday’s finale, but it seems likely that the 35-year-old will be out of that lineup for at least that game. Brendan Rodgers has taken over at second base.

Carpenter is 12-for-33 with two homers and seven RBI through eight games this month, putting him at .290/.309/.550 in 137 plate appearances for the year. It’s bizarre that he’s walked just twice this season, but it’s hard to be bothered by it when he’s batting .290.

Judge enjoyed the warm Sacramento weather in Sutter Health Park as he slugged two solo homers. He took JP Sears deep to lead off the fourth inning, then went yard off Justin Sterner to start the sixth. Judge later drove in a third run on a groundout in the ninth. The 33-year-old superstar is up to a league-leading 14 homers with 37 RBI while slashing .396/.486/.772 across 175 plate appearances. Following Saturday’s contest, Judge is leading baseball in homers, batting average, and RBI.

The Orioles just activated O’Neill off the 10-day injured list Friday, and they’ll likely give him a day or two off to make sure his neck injury doesn’t flare up. Heston Kjerstad and Ryan O’Hearn will be the corner outfielders for Saturday’s bout against the Halos.
