Houston Astros/Milwaukee Brewers
Over 9.5
Brandon Backe:
Astros activated RHP Brandon Backe from the 15-day disabled list.
51 weeks after he underwent Tommy John surgery. The Astros are going to a six-man rotation to make room for Backe, who will start Tuesday versus the Brewers. He doesn’t look like a very good bet in NL-only leagues.
Carlos Villanueva:
Manager Ned Yost confirmed that Carlos Villanueva will start Tuesday against the Houston Astros.
Villanueva's pitch limit at Triple-A Nashville was around 60 pitches, but Yost said he'll expect more Tuesday. "We'll stretch him out to 75 or 80 the first time, and then he'll be ready to go," Yost said. "He's got six starts left, so he'll be OK - depending on how he does."
