Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Peña is still dealing with some soreness in his ribs after being hit by a pitch during Friday’s showdown and the club doesn’t want to take any risks in advance of Monday’s off-day. It’ll be Mauricio Dubón continuing to fill in at shortstop in his absence. The positive news for fantasy managers is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and the 27-year-old infielder isn’t facing a lengthy absence. There’s a chance he’s ready for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies at Coors Field’s high-octane offensive environment.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora is going to keep shaking things up after his club snapped a six-game losing streak with Saturday’s decisive 15-1 drubbing of Toronto. It’s Romy González moving up to the leadoff spot to face lefty Eric Lauer with Duran shifting towards the bottom of the lineup card. The 28-year-old outfielder been mired in an extended slump, hitting .223/.293/.347 with one homer and three steals over his last 30 games. He’s posted a lackluster .547 OPS against left-handed pitching this season and could start to lose opportunities against southpaws in the coming weeks, especially if the Red Sox want to stay in playoff contention.

White draws his second straight start in center field on Sunday afternoon in place of Michael Harris II with lefty Ranger Suárez taking the ball for Philadelphia. The 31-year-old outfielder can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats, but it’s notable that he’s receiving additional chances against southpaws in recent days with Harris on the bench.
