Gerrit Cole Pushed Back, Josh James Starting Tuesday
6 years agoHouston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole, who was initially scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, is being pushed back to Friday against the Angels. The Astros are trying to get their rotation set up for the postseason. Not only does this give Cole some extra rest, but it's also a better matchup for his fantasy owners. Cole has been a must-start this year. James has a 4.22 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings in three outings (one start) for Houston this year. He'll be a shaky streaming option against Seattle on Tuesday.
