Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos will try and regain his footing at the plate when the team kicks off the second half of the season on Thursday against the Rangers. Chirinos started off the month of June white-hot, popping six home runs in the first week. But he has fallen off the map since then, slashing only .152/.286/.174 over his last 46 at-bats with 19 strikeouts. It has been a surprisingly effective offensive season for the veteran up to this point but his arrow is pointing in the[...]

Max Stassi will handle duties behind the plate and bat eight against Angels left-hander Jose Suarez.

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos will try and finish up an excellent first half of the season strong when the team opens up a series with the Rockies on Tuesday. Chirinos will start and bat seventh on Tuesday and will try and shake loose from a 5-for-27 (.185) skid over his last 10 games. Chirinos has hits in each of his last three starts with four walks so he appears to be getting back into a rhythm at the plate. The veteran backstop began the month of June with six home runs in his fi[...]

At this point in the season, nearly half over, you should pretty much know what you have on your fantasy team. (Unless you have Jose Ramirez.) Chances are, if you still have a certain frustrating player on your roster -- especially one you drafted -- you've had plenty of chances to remove them but have decided to stay the course each time. (For instance, Jose Ramirez.) A lot of cuts should be just the usual roster churn at this point, for example moving from one streamer SP to the next. (For ins[...]

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos is enjoying a fantastic month of June but has cooled off over the last week heading into Saturday night's action. Chirinos began the month hitting six home runs in his first nine games but is 2-for-15 (.133) since. Nonetheless, it has been an All-Star caliber first half for the veteran receiver. Chirinos is slashing .234/.366/.489 with 11 doubles, 12 home runs, 35 runs scored and 38 runs batted in this season. The veteran has ascended to must-own status [...]

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the lineup Saturday against the Orioles. To this point it has been a fantastic week for the veteran backstop, who has one double, four home runs and seven runs batted in over his last five games. It is only the first week of June, but Chirinos is slugging an impressive 1.000 this month. This white-hot production at the plate can't last but Chirinos will be an excellent DFS play over the next few days when he is back in the lineup.
