Jake Odorizzi Stats

Houston Astros starter Jake Odorizzi lasted only three innings in the Astros 5-1 loss to the Red Sox on Thursday. Odorizzi (0-3) struggled with his control, walking three, and was surrendered a three-run home in the second inning. The 31-year-old was pulled after 76 pitches and his ERA jumped up to 7.16. Odorizzi simply does not look like the type of pitcher that in 2019 went 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA and a 10.08 K/9 rate. There is plenty of time to right the ship but, for now, Odorizzi is not an appealing fantasy option.

Houston Astros starting pitchers Framber Valdez (finger) and Jake Odorizzi (forearm) are expected to be activated from the injured list and pitch this weekend, according to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle. Valdez fractured the ring finger on his throwing hand back in Spring Training, and was originally believed to have suffered a season-ending injury. Meanwhile, Odorizzi has been out since late April after suffering a forearm strain. In their most recent rehab outings at Triple-A, Valdez struck out two over four scoreless innings while Odorizzi had seven strikeouts in 4 2/3 scoreless innings of work. Valdez is now the scheduled starter on Friday against the Padres, with Odorizzi set to take the mound on Saturday. Managers should make sure to slot both Valdez and Odorizzi into their lineups as soon as they are activated.
