Fantasy Impact:
Brantley had gone 1-for-2 with a run prior to exiting. He has been a key member of the Astros' offensive production this year, logging a .331/.384/.477 slash line with 35 RBI, 25 walks, and 38 strikeouts so far this season. It remains to be seen if the All-Star will be destined for an IL stint. Houston has the day off on Monday, which will allow Brantley to have extra time off.
