Stassi went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI Saturday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi drove in the first and last runs of the game for the Astros to record his fourth multi-RBI game of the season. He should continue to see regular duty behind the plate for the Astros thanks to the absence of Brian McCann, though he provides limited production across most categories and has only four extra-base hits since June 16.

Stassi (forearm) is back in the lineup against the White Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi will handle the catching duties and bat eighth in the order. He was forced to miss Wednesday's game after getting struck by pitch on his right forearm Tuesday. Over 49 games this year, he's hit .255/.340/.482 with seven home runs and 22 RBI.

Stassi (forearm) is not expected to miss significant time, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi was held out Wednesday after taking a pitch off his right forearm Tuesday. Manager A.J. Hinch is hoping to get Stassi in a game "in the next day or so" as the Astros kick off a home series with the White Sox on Thursday. In the meantime, Tim Federowicz will fill in as the primary catcher while Evan Gattis is the backup.

Stassi (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Texas, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi will remain on the bench after leaving Tuesday's contest following a hit by pitch on his right hand in the first inning. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Stassi left Tuesday's game against the Rangers after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi was hit in his first at-bat during the top of the first inning and briefly stayed in to run the bases, but was replaced behind the plate by Tim Federowicz for the bottom of the frame. The 27-year-old was diagnosed with a right hand bruise after X-rays came back negative, and he is currently considered day-to-day.

Stassi will be the Astros' starting catcher for at least four to six weeks with Brian McCann undergoing knee surgery, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi's fantasy stock should shoot up, at least in the short term, as any everyday player in the Astros' lineup will have plenty of opportunities to drive in runs and be driven in by his teammates. The 27-year-old had been slowly carving out a larger role, starting five of the last eight games behind the plate. He's outhit McCann so far this season, posting a .255/.335/.482 line compared to .206/.283/.323 for his veteran teammate, so if he continues to impress in a full-time role he has a shot to keep the job for the rest of the year.

Stassi went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi's sixth inning homer off of Danny Duffy busted the game open, putting the Astros up 7-2 while helping chase the southpaw. The backup catcher has now collected at least one hit in four straight games and is batting a solid .264/.336/.512 with seven homers through 40 games this season. If Stassi continues to produce in his limited opportunities, he could start to carve out a bigger role for himself at the expense of starter Brian McCann, who is hitting just .209/.299/.349 this season.

Stassi will be the starting catcher Saturday, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Starting backstop Brian McCann was activated off the disabled and played Friday, so he'll get a break Saturday. Stassi could also start Sunday with the Rangers scheduled throw the left-handed Matt Moore. Stassi is crushing southpaws this season with a 1.030 OPS.

Stassi, who was given the day off Thursday, will catch the next three games, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi has become the primary starter behind the plate after Brian McCann (knee) was placed on the 10-day disabled list. While the playing time was somewhat equitable when Stassi and McCann were sharing the job, Stassi is expected to get a significant share of the at-bats at catcher with Tim Federowicz up from Triple-A Fresno to replace McCann. Now might be a good time to look at Stassi for fantasy lineups, as he's riding a seven-game hitting streak, in which he's gone 9-for-26 with three doubles, two home runs and knocked in seven runs.

Stassi went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Stassi provided all of Houston's offense in this one, smacking a two-run homer in the fifth before tacking on an RBI double in the ninth off closer Aroldis Chapman. With Brian McCann (knee) on the disabled list, Stassi is set to take on the primary catching responsibilities in his stead. Even with the injury to McCann, Stassi has earned his playing time, slashing .303/.367/.562 through the opening two months.
