The Astros have not announced why Bloss was scratched. They have not announced a new starter for Monday’s game against Pittsburgh.

Jake Bloss delivered a modest performance in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched four innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four. In just his second start of his career, Bloss's latest outing showed some signs of stability, albeit not enough to significantly alter his fantasy outlook. With a season ERA still hovering at 4.70 and a WHIP of 1.57, his fantasy relevance remains limited to deeper leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups. His high strikeout rate in the minors offer some glimpse to the strikeout potential, but fantasy managers should remain cautious given his inexperience.

The Astros have activated Jake Bloss from the 15-day IL.

Fantasy Impact

Bloss is scheduled to make his return Thursday and start against the Marlins. Fantasy managers should expect Bloss to operate on a pitch count after only throwing 55 in his only rehab appearance.
