Jordan Lyles allowed two runs (one earned) in five-plus innings Friday in a no-decision against the Pirates.
Lyles left in position for the victory, but Hector Ambriz coughed up the lead in the eighth inning. The young right-hander held the Pirates to just four hits while the lone earned run scored on a solo homer by Andrew McCutchen in the first inning. He struck out four and walked two. While it was a step in the right direction after the Rangers hammered him last Sunday, Lyles needs to do a lot more to get our attention in fantasy leagues. May 17 - 10:55 PM

Jordan Lyles earned his first win of the season on Tuesday night, allowing three runs in five innings as the Astros topped the Angels.

The right-hander wasn't dominant but was good enough, striking out six in his five innings. All the damage against him came on a Mark Trumbo three-run homer in the first inning, but Lyles settled down to keep the Angels at bay over the next four to get the win. He is talented but inconsistent and on a terrible Houston team, meaning he should be left for only the deepest of AL-only leagues at this point. Lyles' next start will come against the Rangers on Sunday.

Making his 2013 debut for the Astros, Jordan Lyles allowed two runs in five innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Tigers.

This was pretty much the best-case scenario for Lyles, considering that he had a 5.32 ERA in Triple-A prior to his callup. The team says the plan is for him to remain in the rotation the rest of the way, but he's not an option in AL-only leagues right now.

Astros recalled RHP Jordan Lyles from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Lyles will make his first major league start of the season on Thursday night against the Tigers. He had a 5.32 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 23 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level and should be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Jordan Lyles will be promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Thursday against the Tigers.

Lyles has posted an unsightly 5.32 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 11/6 K/BB ratio over 23 2/3 innings this year at Triple-A. He carries absolutely zero fantasy relevance.

Jordan Lyles is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Astros are also set to call up Dallas Keuchel, so presumably one of them will take Brad Peacock's spot in the rotation Thursday against the Tigers. Lyles has a 5.32 ERA and 11/6 K/BB ratio in 23 2/3 innings over four starts and one relief appearance this season in Triple-A. He has really struggled in the majors so far, so he can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Astros optioned RHP Jordan Lyles to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Lyles was penciled into the rotation at the start of spring training, but he pitched his way out of consideration by posting a bloated 17.74 ERA over 11 2/3 innings during Grapefruit League play. Erik Bedard is likely to nab the fourth spot in the rotation if healthy, which leaves Brad Peacock and Alex White competing to be the fifth starter. Lyles could return quickly if he shows improvement in the minors, but he should be off the fantasy radar.

Jordan Lyles was pounded for six runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings by the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

The good news is that his ERA dropped. The bad news is it went from 19.13 to 17.74. While we've been assuming for 10 days now that Lyles is Triple-A bound, indications were that the Astros still had him penciled into the rotation going into this one. His latest disaster of a performance should finally change that.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

Jordan Lyles gave up three runs in three innings Wednesday against a Nationals split-squad.

Lyles didn't face one likely major leaguer today, yet he still gave up six hits. On the plus side, his ERA dropped from 25.20 to 19.13. We still think he's Triple-A bound for the start of the year.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

Jordan Lyles was lit up again Friday, surrendering six runs and seven hits in two-thirds of an inning versus a Braves split squad.

Lyles has a 25.20 ERA after three outings. He's given up 20 hits in five innings. After the outing, Lyles indicated that his arm is fine and that he intends to start taking the games more seriously next week. His rotation spot is in serious doubt at this point.

Jordan Lyles surrendered three runs -- two earned -- in 2 1/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Pirates.

The good news is that Lyles lowered his ERA from 27.00 to 16.61 with the performance. He opened the spring penciled into Houston's rotation, but the Astros will likely send him down to Triple-A if he continues to struggle.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

Jordan Lyles was lit up for six runs and 10 hits in two innings by the Rays on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old Lyles is slated to occupy a spot in the Astros' rotation, but a bad spring could get him replaced by John Ely or Alex White. While he's one of Houston's building blocks, we're not optimistic about him having any fantasy value this year.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

Jordan Lyles hurled nine scoreless innings Sunday in the Astros' 7-0 defeat of the Brewers.

Lyles finally got some run support and went out on top with by far his best performance of the year. He scattered four hits, fanning three and walking just one. The 21-year-old right-hander will wrap up the 2012 season having registered a 5.09 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 141 1/3 innings.

Jordan Lyles held the Cubs scoreless over five innings in Tuesday's 1-0 win.

Lyles gave up just two hits and two walks while striking out five, but his night was cut short by a pitch count that was already up to 94. The young right-hander has pitched pretty decently of late, holding a 3.96 ERA over his last seven starts. He’ll get the Phillies this weekend.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

Jordan Lyles was knocked around in Tuesday’s loss to the Pirates, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings.

Andrew McCutchen delivered most of the damage, lining an RBI double in the first inning and RBI singles in the third and fifth. The Astros are content to have their prized 21-year-old right-hander take his lumps at the major league level, and he’s certainly doing that this season. He’ll carry a 3-11 record, 5.55 ERA and 81/34 K/BB ratio into Monday’s home start against the Cubs.
