Brice Matthews - Aiming for mid-August return General manager Dana Brown said Sunday that the Astros are targeting "mid-August, potentially the third week of August" for Matthews' (knee) return from the 10-day injured list, Ch...
Impact Per MLB.com, Matthews has been cleared to field grounders and hit on the field, but he has yet to resume running at full speed since landing on the injured list July 17 due to a left knee sprain. Before going down with the injury, Matthews had made six starts in center field over a seven-game stretch, but he'll be in search of playing time elsewhere once he returns after Houston acquired Daulton Varsho from Toronto on Monday.

Cam Smith - Riding pine Wednesday Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
Impact Despite holding a six-game hitting streak dating back to July 29, Smith will sit out Wednesday's series finale. Taylor Trammell will move over to right field and bat fifth for Houston.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Isaac Paredes - Sitting out Wednesday Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact In his last three games, Paredes is a combined 0-for-13 with a walk and three strikeouts. Houston will give the 27-year-old the day off amid his slump, with Nick Allen manning third base and batting ninth.

Jose Altuve - Three hits in win Altuve went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact It's the third straight multi-hit game for Altuve, who's gone 7-for-13 in that span, though all seven hits have been singles. Altuve has gone 13 contests without an extra-base hit -- he's batting a solid .278 (15-for-54) in that span, albeit with a .581 OPS. Overall, Altuve is slashing .241/.304/.389 through 386 plate appearances this season with 12 homers, 33 RBI, 53 runs scored and two steals.

Taylor Trammell - Launches three-run shot Tuesday Trammell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Trammell took Chad Dallas deep in the fifth inning for his sixth long ball of the season, giving the Astros a lead they'd never relinquish. Trammell has launched three of his six homers this season since the All-Star break and has been seeing the ball well lately, hitting .276 with a 1.068 OPS over his last nine games.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Hayden Wesneski - Earns win, tosses quality start Wesneski (2-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Blue Jays after tossing six innings of two-run ball, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out four. He also tossed a wi...
Impact Wesneski delivered a strong outing to strengthen his case for a spot in the rotation ahead of the final two months of the regular season, and with Spencer Arrighetti (foot) shipped to Toronto and Tatsuya Imai moving to the bullpen, all signs point to Wesneski remaining as a starter. Wesneski has made just two starts this season since returning from Tommy John surgery and the numbers are decent, as he's allowed five runs on 11 hits and four walks while striking out eight, tossing two wild pitches and hitting a batter. He has won both starts and owns a 3.86 ERA ahead of his next outing, which should be scheduled for next week on the road against the Giants.
