Fantasy Impact
Peacock shouldn't need much time to work out the kinks in the minors before rejoining the Astros shortly after the All-Star break. Peacock will look to rebound after posting an ugly 6.39 ERA in July, but has been mostly dependable on the season with a 4.13 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP and 89 strikeouts over 85 innings this season.
