The good news for the Astros and fantasy owners is that Rodriguez doesn’t believe he’ll be forced to miss a start. That said, stay tuned to make sure that doesn’t change tomorrow morning once he feels the full effect of the injury.

While Rodriguez isn’t commonly thought of as a fantasy stud, he’s actually been great as of late. In fact, he has arguably been the best fantasy starting pitcher over the cours of the last month. In that time, he has four wins, 34 strikeouts, an ERA of 0.75 and a WHIP of 0.94.

Coming into this season, the 30-year-old native of the Dominican Republic wasn’t too highly regarded. But he has obviously put it all together this season. On the season, he is 10-6 with a 2.63 ERA and 128 strikeouts in 136.2 innings.

With Roy Oswalt banged up, the Astros cannot afford for Rodriguez to miss any starts.
