Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers injured his hamstring while attempting to steal second base in the fifth inning of Saturday's Cactus League game vs. the Mariners. Rodgers was 1-for-2 with an RBI single for exiting the game. He stopped short and starting limping before dropping to the ground as he approached second base. He was able to walk off on his own and it appears, at least initially, that a serious injury has been avoided. Outfielder Chris Owings shifted down to second base to replace Rodgers while outfielder Jameson Hannah moved to centerfield and took his spot in the batting order. We should learn more about the injury in manager Bud Black's press conference but consider Rodgers day-to-day for now. Garrett Hampson, who's primarily played in the outfield in Cactus League play, will likely shift down to second base for as long as Rodgers is out.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller

Houston Astros infielder Brendan Rodgers (hip) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Earlier on Saturday, Astros manager Joe Espada said Rodgers is dealing with left hip soreness. It's worth noting that Rodgers was able to field grounders ahead of Saturday's contest. It doesn't sound like Rodgers will require a trip to the injured list, but we'll wait and see how he feels on Sunday. In the meantime, Jose Altuve will cover second base while Zach Dezenzo takes over in left field against left-hander Tyler Anderson on Saturday.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Houston Astros infielder Brendan Rodgers and outfielders Cam Smith and Jake Meyers are not in Saturday's lineup when the Astros conclude a three-game set against the New York Mets. As a result, Zach Dezenzo will cover right field for Smith, Mauricio Dubon will cover the keystone for Rogers, and Chas McCormick will replace Meyers in center field. Fantasy managers should expect Smith, Rogers, and Meyers to all return to the starting lineup on Monday evening when they host the San Francisco Giants. Smith has started in right field during the first two games of the campaign. Rogers has emerged as Houston's No. 1 second baseman while Jake Meyers appears to be the top option in center field. Dezenzo, Dubon, and McCormick are worth a look in DFS facing New York right-hander Griffin Canning, who held a 5.19 ERA last season.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Houston Astros infielder Brendan Rodgers is making a second straight start over Mauricio Dubon on Friday at second base and will bat eighth against the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Tylor Megill at Daikin Park. All signs pointed to Dubon seeing most of the playing time at the keystone to open the 2025 season after the Astros decided to move All-Star Jose Altuve to left field full time, but so far it's been Rodgers at the keystone in Houston. The 28-year-old former Rockies second baseman went hitless in four plate appearances with one walk in the team's Opening Day win over the Mets on Thursday. The Astros may actually prefer the oft-injured Rodgers at the keystone to begin the season, but if he's not producing, Dubon could get his opportunity sooner than later. Rodgers had extreme home/road splits while with Colorado and should only be rostered in AL-only fantasy leagues for the time being.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Houston Astros infielder Brendan Rodgers is making the start at second base and is batting eighth on Opening Day on Thursday against the New York Mets and right-hander Clay Holmes at Daikin Park in Houston. Rodgers will make the first start at the keystone for the 'Stros in 2025, but Mauricio Dubon is expected to see most of the playing time at the position for the team this year. The 28-year-old Rodgers hit just .233 (10-for-43) with five doubles, eight RBI and four runs scored in 44 plate appearances over 15 Grapefruit League games this spring and should mainly operate as a utility infielder in his first year in Houston. He has four career at-bats against Holmes and has not recorded a hit. Not only has Rodgers struggled to stay healthy in his career, but he has never hit very well away from hitter-friendly Coors Field, which will pose a problem now that he's no longer playing for the Rockies.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
