Latest on Musgrove via Rotoworld: Astros recalled Musgrove from Triple-A Fresno. Musgrove will start for the Astros on Wednesday night against the Braves after working seven scoreless innings in his one outing at the Triple-A level. The 24-year-old right-hander has a rough 6.01 ERA in 67 1/3 innings this season with Houston, but he holds some fantasy streaming appeal versus Atlanta.
Garcia surrendered six runs on seven hits over six-plus innings in Thursday’s loss to the Padres. Garcia kept the Padres at bay through the first two innings before they broke through for three runs in the third, with two of those coming on a two-run homer by Wil Myers. Hunter Renfroe would add a second two-run shot in the fifth. The veteran southpaw fanned six and walked three in the outing. He will carry a 4.35 ERA and 1.33 WHIP into a potentially troublesome road showdown with the Nationals next time he takes the ball.
