Mike Burrows To Start Against Blue Jays on Wednesday
Houston Astros right-hander Mike Burrows is scheduled to make the start in Wednesday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Burrows was moved to a relief role over the weekend and threw a scoreless inning out of the bullpen on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians. The 26-year-old will return to start this week against Toronto, but he might be heading right back to the bullpen after that, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues won't necessarily want to jump on board. In his 15 appearances (14 starts) for the Astros in 2026 in his first year with the team, Burrows has struggled to the tune of a 3-8 record, 5.79 ERA (5.64 FIP), and 1.58 WHIP with 66 strikeouts and 30 walks in 79 1/3 innings pitched. He has allowed a league-high 51 earned runs and will be a volatile streaming option for fantasy managers on Wednesday, even in a good matchup against the Blue Jays. Toronto ranks just 23rd in the league in OPS (.703), but they also have the second-fewest strikeouts in the league (562).
