It sounds like Peña will be out through next week’s All-Star break — and miss the Midsummer Classic altogether — as he continues to recover from a fractured rib. At this point it doesn’t seem like he’ll make it back to Houston’s lineup until later this month.

It sounds like Gordon checked out fine after being struck in the head by a comebacker during Monday’s loss to the Guardians. The 26-year-old managed to remain in the contest following the incident and should avoid the injured list. It doesn’t seem like he’ll make another start before the All-Star break so it wound’t be shocking to see him optioned to Triple-A to bring in a fresh relief arm.

Meyers will sit out his second straight game on Tuesday night as he nurses a right calf issue. There’s no real reason for Houston to rush their starting center fielder back this week and risk the issue getting worse so they’ll continue rolling with Taylor Trammell in his place.

Alvarez remains shut down from hitting after receiving injections last week to address lingering pain in his right hand that is unrelated to the hand fracture he’s been recovering from. There should be a clearer return timetable from the Astros at some point after next week’s All-Star Game. It’s been a frustrating situation for fantasy managers.

Murphy had previously said he was “pissed” and wanted Ortiz to “give me his best approach at the plate every day... we’re playing him every day, and he just can’t have lapses at the plate like that.” Since June 1, Ortiz is hitting .263/.311/.424 with four home runs, 20 RBI, and four steals in 31 games. He also has a 16/6 K/BB ratio over that stretch, so the swing decisions don’t seem to be too egregious. Hopefully this doesn’t interrupt the rhythm he was creating at the plate.

Seager absolutely clobbered a two-run homer off Yusei Kikuchi to give the Angels a 2-0 lead in the first inning. He’s now up to a dozen homers in 2025 with 27 RBI over 59 games, and that roundtripper along with a single and a walk improves his slash to .250/.353/.455 in his 220 at-bats. All of those numbers have a good chance of improving over the second half of 2025.

Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy told reporters Ortiz is taking a seat for the second straight game to help clean up some of his swing decisions. The 26-year-old shortstop is hitting .209/.269/.306 with six homers and nine steals in 87 games leading up to the All-Star break.
