KHOU.com reports the Houston Astros outrighted SP Jack Cassel to Triple-A Round Rock Wednesday, Oct. 8. Cassel automatically becomes a minor league free agent.
Alyson Footer, of MLB.com, reports Houston Astros SP Jack Cassel (personal) rejoined the team Wednesday, Sept. 24.
News: RHP Jack Cassel allowed one hit in three scoreless innings Sunday against the Cubs. Cassel was pitching for the first time since allowing two runs and four hits at Colorado a week earlier.
Analysis: Cassel could get a significant number of innings in Fantasy Week 25 (Sept. 15-21) -- perhaps even a spot start -- so use him if you are desperate in NL-only formats
News: Houston SP Jack Cassel was set to start Friday's game against the Cubs in Houston but Hurricane Ike has forced that game to be postponed.
Analysis: This is bad news for Cassel, who was making a spot start. He'll likely be skipped in the rotation and will return to the bullpen. He is nothing more than a high-risk spot starter or low-end middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men down the stretch
News: Jack Cassel lifted the Astros to a 7-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, throwing four solid innings after Wandy Rodriguez departed with a right oblique strain. "I just had this gut feeling (I'd pitch)," Cassel said. "I was happy to get in there and make the best of it."
Analysis: Cassel could be a candidate for spot starts, but he is nothing more than a high-risk spot starter or low-end middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men down the stretch
