Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Nick Castellanos went 2-for-5 and hit his fourth homer versus the Astros on Saturday. Castellanos has four homers in seven games after going his first 21 without one. He’s up to .324/.381/.528 for the season.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Yordan Alvarez (neck) has returned to the Astros’ lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Phillies. It’s a significant development for the Astros, and fantasy managers as well, that Alvarez is feeling well enough to get back into Houston’s lineup at designated hitter on Saturday evening following a four-game absence due to neck discomfort. As expected, the Astros have been handling the situation with an abundance of caution, but it looks like the fantasy superstar will avoid a trip to the injured list.
