Philadelphia locked in a six-man rotation as Aaron Nola returns from the IL, a move the Phillies hope will keep their elite staff fresh down the stretch. Sunday’s game against Washington will debut the six-man plan, with the team reassessing after the first rotation through. The roster features Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sánchez as undisputed aces, joined by Ranger Suárez, Taijuan Walker, and a returning Nola plus Jesús Luzardo in a speculative sixth slot. Rest for the rotation could reduce wear on the frontrunners and help keep everyone efficient in the pennant race.

The decision highlights a rotation that’s been among the league’s best this season, with Wheeler, Sánchez, Suárez and Luzardo each boasting a WAR of at least 2.4 and four starters carrying a sub-3.00 ERA across recent starts. Walker has been strong since resuming his role, posting a 3.05 ERA in his last five outings. Nola’s return comes after a rough start that included a 6.16 ERA through nine starts and 11 homers allowed in just under 50 innings. If he can recapture form, Philadelphia’s depth suddenly looks even more formidable as the season progresses.

Houston's Hunter Brown extended his momentum, earning his 10th win of the season as the Astros toppled Boston 4-1. Brown delivered 6⅔ innings of one-run ball on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts, finally snapping a six-start winless streak. Offensively, Houston jumped ahead with a leadoff homer by Jeremy Peña off Walker Buehler and a two-run frame from Yainer Díaz, followed by Díaz’s two-run blast in the sixth to widen the gap. Ceddanne Rafaela provided Boston's lone RBI in the second, while Christian Walker made a highlight-reel defensive play to rob Trevor Story in the same frame. The win reinforces Houston's rotation depth and Díaz's continued breakout run, while Pena's early power gives the lineup a much-needed spark for fantasy managers relying on the middle of the order.

From a fantasy perspective, Brown’s efficiency and win upside stay appealing, especially in a favorable upcoming slate. Peña’s table-setter profile and Díaz’s multi-RBI power keep Houston’s top of the order firmly in fantasy consideration, while Rafaela’s speed and glove work add steal and run-improvement potential. Boston, meanwhile, will be chasing consistency from Story’s bat as Rafaela and the rest of the lineup try to sustain pressure on opposing starters. Defensively, Walker’s stand-in moment against Story underscores a few sharp defensive plays that can swing tight ballgames, a reminder that pitchers aren’t the only fantasy assets shaping outcomes on any given night.
