Peter Lambert Could Start for Astros on Friday
The Houston Astros added right-hander Peter Lambert to their taxi squad on Thursday, according to the Houston Chronicle's Matt Kawahara. The Astros haven't listed a starter for their series opener on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals at Daikin Park, with Lance McCullers Jr. and Mike Burrows listed as the probable starters for Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The 28-year-old Lambert will be making his Astros debut when he gets into a game after four years with the Colorado Rockies, where he posted a 6.28 ERA (5.46 FIP) and 1.61 WHIP with 181 strikeouts and 95 walks in 243 2/3 innings over 74 appearances (35 starts). Lambert has allowed only three earned runs with three walks and 12 strikeouts in 14 2/3 frames in three outings (two starts) at Triple-A Sugar Land so far this year, and he'll be on six days of rest going into Friday. Lambert won't be a very attractive fantasy streamer for a matchup against a Cardinals team that is in the middle of the pack in terms of team OPS (.695).
