Picks up win in Game 2 Stanek (1-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win against the White Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday.

Impact Stanek put runners on first and second base after he struck out the first two batters he faced Friday, but he forced a lineout to end the inning. The right-hander earned three wins during the regular season and picked up his first win of the postseason after the Astros plated five runs in the bottom of the seventh. The 30-year-old should continue to serve as a setup man during the playoffs.

Reinstated from paternity list Stanek was reinstated from the paternity list Thursday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Stanek was away from the team for three days, but he'll be available out of the bullpen in Thursday's series finale against the Angels. Right-hander Josh James was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land to make room on the active roster.

Takes fourth loss in relief Stanek (1-4) allowed one earned run on one hit in one-third of an inning, taking the loss to the Padres on Sunday.

Impact Stanek relieved Kendall Graveman with one out in the ninth inning. He retired the first batter and needed just one final out to force extra innings. However, he surrendered the game-winning home run by Jake Cronenworth. The 29-year-old had five straight scoreless appearances prior to Sunday's loss. He has a 3.86 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 73 strikeouts in 58.1 innings this season.

Role being defined Stanek allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless seventh inning to pick up his 14th hold in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins.

Impact For the second straight game, manager Dusty Baker deployed a bullpen alignment of Stanek, Kendall Graveman and Ryan Pressly for innings seven through nine. While his ERA sits at 3.72, Stanek has been consistent overall out of the bullpen and has earned a role pitching in the final third of a game. Aside from two outings in which he allowed a combined nine runs in 1.1 innings, Stanek has posted a 2.11 ERA with 58 strikeouts over the other 47 innings pitched.

Earns second save Stanek struck out one over a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save in a 3-0 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Impact With Ryan Pressly on the paternity list, the Astros did not have their closer available, and were forced to improvise. This seemed like an ideal spot for Kendall Graveman, the former Seattle closer recently acquired, but manager Dusty Baker had him pitch the eighth inning against the heart of the Los Angeles order. Stanek took over against the bottom of the order.

Escapes with hold Stanek allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over the eighth inning in Monday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

Impact Stanek was called upon to shepherd a two-run lead to closer Ryan Pressly but ran into trouble by walking two batters. After allowing a run on a single, he was able to strike out Bradley Zimmer on five pitches to record his 12th hold of the season. Other than a five-run kerfuffle against the Orioles on June 29, Stanek has been a trusted late-inning source out of the bullpen for Houston since mid-June. He entered Monday's contest not having allowed a run in 12 of 13 appearances.

Grabs fifth hold Stanek fired a perfect eighth inning to earn a hold in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Impact Stanek retired the heart of the Red Sox's lineup in order to keep the three-run lead intact. The 29-year-old has a 3.24 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 25 innings. Besides a single outing in which he allowed four runs, he has a 1.82 ERA and 33:14 K:BB with five holds and one save this season.

Picks up shaky hold Stanek hit a batter and walked two over two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's 8-4 win over Oakland.

Impact Stanek left with the bases juiced but avoided damage to his ERA when Ryan Pressly induced an inning-ending groundout. For Stanek, who had emerged as a high-leverage reliever, it was the third straight shaky outing, and he could be losing that key role. He's allowed five runs on three hits and six walks over his last 1.2 innings.

Enters for save Stanek struck out one over a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his first save in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Mariners.

Impact Closer Ryan Pressly had thrown 31 pitches over the last two days, so he was skipped for this save opportunity. Instead, manager Dusty Baker opted for Stanek, who has emerged as Houston's eighth-inning reliever. The right-hander's fired blanks in nine of 12 outings and leap-frogged several relievers to claim a high-leverage role.

Takes first loss Stanek (0-1) was charged with the loss Friday against the Mariners, surrendering one run on two walks while registering two outs.

Impact Stanek took the loss despite not giving up a hit. He recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning with ease, but walked the first two batters in the bottom of the ninth inning before he was pulled. Ryan Pressly entered the game and allowed the winning run to score, leaving Stanek with the loss. The 29-year-old has only surrendered two runs and owns an 11.7 K/9 so Friday's decision could simply be a blip on the radar.

APRIL 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Allows first run Stanek surrendered a solo home run and struck out one in one inning of Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Seth Brown took Stanek deep in the eighth inning, launching a 424-foot shot to right field that left the bat at 106.1 MPH. It was the first hit and run Stanek's allowed in six innings over five appearances. The right-hander has struck out eight, walked one and hit two batters.

APRIL 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Fires scoreless inning Stanek allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over one inning in Saturday's spring game against St. Louis.

Impact Stanek has made three spring appearances, giving up one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over three innings. He had a minor role in the Marlins' bullpen in 2020 and is projected to be part of the Astros' bullpen, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Beyond closer Ryan Pressly, the pecking order in the bullpen has not received much press and is not well defined. Joe Smith could serve as a setup man while perceived options Josh James (hip) and Pedro Baez (not injury related) have not pitched yet.
