The Astros are "days away" from considering a rehab assignment for Fowler (back), according to general manager Jeff Luhnow, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports. While Fowler will likely rejoin the Astros sometime in August, it's still a guessing game at this point as to when exactly owners can expect him back. Before going on the DL, Fowler had a .270 average with six home runs and six steals in 76 games, so he's an excellent option to stash in most leagues.
