Converts first save Stanek allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one in one inning to record a save against the Rangers on Wednesday.
Impact With Ryan Pressly (knee) on the injured list, fantasy managers have been eager to see who would notch Houston's first save in his stead. Hector Neris has been a popular pickup, but he pitched the eighth and registered a hold Wednesday, with Stanek given the opportunity to close things out in the ninth. The right-hander made things interesting, allowing a run on a walk and a double before striking out Kole Calhoun with the tying run on third base to end the game. Pressly may not be far from a return, and Stanek isn't a lock for the team's next save opportunity while the No. 1 closer is out, so the latter is only a speculative short-term pickup in fantasy.

Throws clean frame Stanek did not allow a baserunner or strike out any hitters in a scoreless inning Sunday against the Mariners.
Impact Stanek was dealing with tightness in his back throughout the weekend series, but he was able to take the mound in the finale. His performance wasn't particularly notable, as the Astros were down 7-2 when he entered the game. However, with Ryan Pressly (knee) on the injured list, Stanek is a potential source of saves in the short term.

Available despite tight back Stanek is experiencing some tightness in his back Saturday but is available to pitch against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Save chances are available temporarily in Houston with Ryan Pressly on the injured list due to right knee inflammation. Stanek is one of the top candidates for those opportunities but might not get them if he's not at full strength, especially as he may be behind Hector Neris on the depth chart even if fully healthy.
