It’s merely a procedural move since Alvarez has already missed two months due to a chip fracture in his right hand. The 28-year-old slugger is eligible to be activated at any point in the future. However, that won’t be any time soon since he was shut down on Monday after experiencing renewed hand soreness while taking dry swings. He’s scheduled visit a specialist later this week to determine the next steps in his recovery process. The hope for fantasy managers at this juncture is that he doesn’t wind up needing surgery, which would likely be season-ending.

Smith singled three times on a night where Houston picked up 16 hits and six different Astros had multi-hit nights. The rookie 22-year-old is now hitting .285 on the season, and his OPS has risen to .785. Smith hit .303/.354/.494 in June, and July has seen a pair of multi-hit games. Pretty good.

Sousa gave up three hits with no walks, and he struck out one. The run didn’t really matter in terms of Houston winning the game or the 30-year-old picking up his third save, but it did push his ERA up to 1.95; a number that you’ll still happily sign up for. Sousa isn’t likely to see more save chances, but it’s not out of the question he’d get more chances if something were to happen to Josh Hader.

Brown allowed a two-run homer to Mickey Moniak in the second inning, and that was it. Because of the opponent and because of how good Brown has been in 2025, this almost feels “disappointing,” but that’s much more compliment to him than insult to this outing. He still has a 9-3 record and 1.82 ERA, and he’s been one of the very best starters in 2025; showing this second half in 2024 was no fluke. He’ll look to keep the good run going against the Guardians on Monday.

Suzuki was an unstoppable force in this one. He started the Cubs’ comeback with a run-scoring double in the third and gave them the lead with a single the following inning. While a bit overshadowed by superstar teammates Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong, Suzuki is in the midst of an incredible season with 23 home runs and an .869 OPS as we near the All-Star break.

Stanton hit a ball 415 feet off Berríos in the fifth. It was his 430th career homer, leaving him one behind Cal Ripken Jr. for 50th place all-time. Stanton also had a walk tonight, leaving him at .244/.346/.333 in 13 games since returning from his elbow injuries.

Rice now has catcher eligibility in some more leagues, which gives his value a boost in AL-only leagues or mixed leagues that play two catchers. Because his role has been reduced with Giancarlo Stanton back, he probably doesn’t rate as a top-10 catcher for those in one-catcher mixed leagues, but he’s still close and he might be a top-five option if playing time opens back up.
