Andrew Moore will start Sunday's game against the Astros in Houston in lieu of Ariel Miranda, who was bumped from the rotation.
Fantasy Implications: After only giving up one run on one hit and one walk, while striking out seven over six innings in a relief role on Monday against Texas, Moore has been immediately inserted back into the rotation. Only last Sunday it was declared that Moore had lost his starting role. "Certainly we'll look at him possibly sliding into the rotation for us
in that spot [Miranda's] moving forward," manager Scott Servais said. "He was
awesome. I can't say enough about the job he did. He's got plenty left
in his tank, which is great to see from a young guy at this time of the
year." However, with a 5.36 ERA and 4.8 K/9, fantasy owners should exercise caution before inserting Moore into their lineups.

Ariel Miranda lifted from rotation
Ariel Miranda was lifted from the rotation, and will not make his once scheduled start on Sunday against the Astros.
Fantasy Implications: Miranda imploded on Monday, giving up four runs on six hits and walking three in only 1 2/3 innings. In his last 12 starts, the 27-year-old southpaw posted a troubling 6.71 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 4.1 BB/9 and 2.6 HR/9. "He's running on fumes right now," manager Scott Servais said. "I think that's what we're seeing. I appreciate how he competes and goes out there. There are certain nights he doesn't have it and he didn't have it at all tonight. We'll take a look where he's at in a couple days from now." Miranda, who prior to this season had never thrown more than 101 innings, has already logged 158 in 2017. Thus it is not surprising to see him tiring down the stretch. How Miranda will be utilized, if at all, for the rest of the year is not known at this time. For now, Andrew Moore will take over Miranda's spot in the rotation.

Kyle Seager hits solo shot
Kyle Seager drove a Cole Hamels' fastball into the right-center field seats for a solo home run in Seattle's 5-3 loss to the Rangers on Monday. It was Seager's lone hit in four at-bats.
Fantasy Implications: Seager is now riding a modest eight-game hitting streak, albeit producing more than one hit in only one of those contests. He has slashed .300/.344/.733 with four home runs and five RBIs in that span. The 29-year-old third baseman's .255 AVG, 23 HR, 74 RBI and 61 RBI has certainly moved the fantasy needle in most settings. Imagine how much further if Seager were able to produce a string of multi-hit games, or hit some of his home runs with men on base.

Mitch Haniger hits long ball
Mitch Haniger went 3-for-4, including a double and a two-run homer in Seattle's 5-3 loss against the Rangers on Monday. He also scored once.
Fantasy Implications: Haniger is swinging a sizzling stick, slashing a phenomenal .489/.489/.889 with four home runs, 11RBIs and eight runs scored over his past 11 games. Subsequently, the rookie outfielder has seen his batting average rise from .240 to .278 in that span. Haniger missed 66 games this campaign due mainly to injury, but has still produced 12 home runs, 41 RBIs and 47 runs scored. The Hanimal's ceiling remains high as long as he can stay healthy.
