Walter seemed legit while facing the Rays in his Astros debut last month, but the team sent him back down afterwards anyway. Getting another chance, he’s turned in back-to-back quality starts this month. Overall, he has a 1.53 ERA and a 19/1 K/BB in 17 2/3 innings. We’d consider taking a chance on him in mixed leagues, but it does hurt that the Astros are a week away from entering a tough stretch in the schedule; his next outing against the Angels isn’t bad, but after that, he’d face either the Phillies or Cubs and then probably get a start at Coors Field or in L.A. against the Dodgers.

Dubón’s shot to the wall in left-center could have been caught by Willi Castro, but it went off his glove as he attempted a jumping catch. It went as a single, but it would have been a double and Dubón’s first extra-base hit in nearly three weeks under normal circumstances. Dubón is 2-for-26 as a part-timer this month, though he’s started three straight games with Isaac Paredes hurt.

The positive news for fantasy managers is that Paredes has managed to avoid a trip to the injured list after suffering a hamstring injury during Thursday’s showdown against the White Sox. The 26-year-old infielder figures to be ready to return to Houston’s lineup at some point during a four-game series against the Athletics, which kicks off on Monday night. It’ll be Luis Guillorme filling in at third base on Sunday afternoon in his absence.

Smith’s grounder hit to the left side hit right in front of the plate, but at 107.5 mph off the bat, if had just enough to get through the infield. Smith also had a 105.8-mph lineout to center today. Since a five-game hitless streak from May 30-June 4, Smith has gone 8-for-28 with six RBI in his last six games. He’s not a consistent run producer just yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
