by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sun, Mar 29th 9:06am EDT
Cristian Javier allowed six earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out one over 4 2/3 innings in an 11-9 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Javier struggled with command in his first start on the mound in 2026 for manager Joe Espada, allowing a 1.143 OPS in the no-decision. The right-hander opens the season as one of many high-risk options in the Houston rotation for fantasy managers after posting a 4.62 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in eight starts (2-4, 34 strikeouts) on the mound in 2025.
