These are my very early ranks, so keep in mind I post these on Thursday. Make sure you check the injury report on Sunday for players that have missed practice. If it doesn't look like a player will play this week, I typically won't rank him. Keep in mind, these are PPR rankings, and don't forget to set your lineup for Thursday Night Football.

If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up on Twitter. Be sure to check out my show MoneyLine with Jerry Bo on ESPN 97.5 FM. We're on every Sunday morning from 10-noon, and we'll talk a lot of fantasy football and NFL gambling getting you ready for kickoff every Sunday.

With two series in the books, the Astros season hasn't gotten off to the start that they hoped. After a series win over the Mets, Houston was swept at home by the Giants, dropping their record to 2-4.

However, the club's early struggles fall squarely on the anemic offense, not the starting pitching. Which should make this disappointing injury update easier to handle.

The Astros announced on Thursday that Luis Garcia is dealing with inflammation in his elbow, and he will be shut down from throwing for four weeks.

It's unknown exactly how many setbacks Garcia has sustained in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but that number has to be at least two, and likely more. There were reports last year that he might be able to return before season's end, but that never materialized.

And of course we have the hiccup this spring that has him unable to throw for the next month. Garcia had surgery in May 2023, so we're almost two years out from the surgery, which typically requires a 12-18 month recovery.

This development makes the return of Lance McCullers Jr even more imperative. On the bright side, McCullers seems to be doing well in his recovery, as he's scheduled for his second rehab start this Saturday at Double-A Corpus Christi.
