Luis Garcia’s elbow discomfort lands him on the 15-day IL, forcing Houston to rethink its rotation behind Framber Valdez, Hunter Brown, Cristian Javier and Jason Alexander. AJ Blubaugh impressed in long relief and is in the mix to start, while Colton Gordon was optioned and will be recalled only if an IL spot opens. The Astros’ bullpen is beat up, with several relievers on the IL including Josh Hader, Bennett Sousa and Kaleb Ort. Toronto’s Ernie Clement pops up as a depth note for the Jays.

Fantasy takeaway: monitor Garcia’s MRI for clarity on timeline and recovery. If Blubaugh or Gordon earns a start, it could offer a one-off DFS or streamer window. With Houston scrambling, depth pieces and matchups will drive early-season decisions; keep an eye on Houston’s rotation pacing and bullpen usage as the workload tightens.

Houston holds a one‑game lead in the AL West as it visits Toronto for a pivotal midweek clash with the Blue Jays. Jason Alexander takes the ball for the Astros against Jose Berrios at Rogers Centre, a spotlight matchup that also tests Houston’s reshuffled rotation after Luis Garcia’s early exit.

The Jays look to swing momentum on their home turf while Houston seeks a road win to steady a bullpen that bowed to a late swing as Tuesday’s game slipped away. TV coverage comes via Space City Home Network with 790 AM/93.3 FM radio in play for fans on the go.

Toronto erased a 3-1 deficit in the ninth, loading the bases for Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s go-ahead hit as Alejandro Kirk drew the leadoff walk and Ernie Clement followed with a single. Davis Schneider contributed with another walk, setting the table for the dramatic finish. In the 10th, Jeff Hoffman held Houston, and Tyler Heineman delivered a walk-off grounder to cap a 4-3 Jays win, underscoring Toronto’s depth even with Bo Bichette out. George Springer supplied early power, Addison Barger added a late-inning spark, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made a key defensive play that saved a run. The Jays’ 43rd come-from-behind win this season highlighted resilience, depth, and clutch hitting across the lineup.

Houston struck first with two in the opening, then watched the Jays rally; Abreu closed the night for the Astros, but Toronto’s late surge overturned a pivotal miscue and showcased how the offense can manufacture runs without its star shortstop. The win reinforces Toronto’s bullpen and bench as weapons in close games, and the triumphant finish keeps the Blue Jays rolling in a tight, competitive AL race.
