Share: Astros | Jon Singleton to stay in minors for time being Thu, 17 Apr 2014 10:20:50 -0700 Houston Astros 1B Jon Singleton isn't close to joining the big league club, according to general manager Jeff Luhnow. Singleton went 3-for-4 with a double, triple and home run with Triple-A Oklahoma City Wednesday, April 16, and is batting .358 with a .460 on-base percentage, five home runs and 18 RBIs in 13 games. "We're happy that Singleton is off to a good start," Luhnow said. "He does not have the Triple-A track record that Springer has yet. We feel he needs to develop that track record. We're always going to be in a position where our fans want our top prospects to come up here sooner than we think they're ready to come up here." Fantasy Tip: Singleton owners were hoping he'd be next after fellow prospect George Springer got the call this week. That won't be the case for now, but Singleton is still worth stashing in mixed leagues, because if he keeps raking like he is now, Houston will find a spot for him sooner rather than later. Share: Astros | Raul Valdes recalled, Kevin Chapman sent down Thu, 17 Apr 2014 08:55:07 -0700 The Houston Astros recalled RP Raul Valdes from Triple-A Oklahoma City Thursday, April 17, and optioned RP Kevin Chapman to Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Share: Astros | L.J. Hoes to see chance in LF Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:12:41 -0700 Houston Astros manager Bo Porter said OF L.J. Hoes will receive a long look in left field. Share: Astros | Brad Peacock to start Sunday Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:07:11 -0700 Houston Astros SP Brad Peacock will receive the start against the Oakland Athletics Sunday, April 20. Fantasy Tip: Peacock's outing Sunday will probably determine if he'll receive another shot in the rotation. He's attractive for AL-only leaguers with perhaps the most upside of the team's current options to replace Lucas Harrell. Share: Astros | George Springer hitting second Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:28:30 -0700 Houston Astros OF George Springer is hitting second in the lineup Wednesday, April 16, in his season debut. Fantasy Tip: Springer is a five-tool talent that can make an immediate impact for fantasy squads. Start him immediately if you were lucky to pick him up. Share: Astros | Two candidates for rotation spot Wed, 16 Apr 2014 09:38:59 -0700 Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said SPs Jerome Williams or Brad Peacock would likely take the open spot in the starting rotation. Fantasy Tip: Neither player is worth owning in standard mixed leagues. Peacock is much more intriguing as a starter and would be the better target in AL-only leagues if you're in need of pitching. Share: Astros | Scott Feldman activated Wed, 16 Apr 2014 09:37:45 -0700 The Houston Astros activated SP Scott Feldman from the bereavement list Wednesday, April 16.

Harrell allowed 14 runs in three starts this year. Share:  Astros | George Springer being called upWed, 16 Apr 2014 05:12:29 -0700 The Houston Astros will recall OF George Springer from Triple-A Oklahoma City before the game Wednesday, April 16. Fantasy Tip: Springer was hitting .353 with three homers and nine RBIs at Triple-A and was likely drafted in a lot of leagues. He hit .303 with 37 homers, 108 RBIs and 45 steals between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Oklahoma last season. He needs to be picked up immediately in all formats.

Fantasy Tip: This doesn't sound like something that will keep him out for long, but stay tuned. Get him out of your lineup this evening. Share: Astros | Jon Singleton named PCL player of the week Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:12:49 -0700 Houston Astros 1B Jon Singleton was named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week after hitting .375 with four home runs and 15 RBIs last week.
