Back to EpisodesFirst Cup Fantasy Baseball: May 26 – Houston Astros No-Hitter + Bullpen Report
Description
The Houston Astros had three pitchers combine to throw the first no-hitter of the season. Does it mean you can now trust Tatsuya Imai?
Corey Pieper breaks down the top injury news, studs and duds, the Bullpen Report segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day.
On the injury front, the White Sox designated Jarred Kelenic for assignment to pave the way for Nishida, while the Blue Jays officially placed ace Dylan Cease on the 15-day IL with a hamstring strain and hold Vladimir Guerrero Jr. out with elbow soreness. Meanwhile, Cole Ragans has been shut down for 2-3 days.
In studs and duds, Jacob Misiorowski put on a masterclass by striking out 12 over seven frames, and Colton Cowser hit a walk-off home run for the second consecutive day. Conversely, Tanner Bibee got completely annihilated for seven earned runs while surrendering an egregious five home runs.
For the Bullpen Report, we sort through a chaotic closing landscape across the league, analyzing the shifting high-leverage roles for Gregory Soto in Pittsburgh, Nate Pearson in Houston, and the continuous save rotation of Jeff Hoffman and Louis Varland in Toronto.
