Jordan Lyles struck out a career-high 10 in seven scoreless innings Wednesday against the Mariners.

Lyles previous high was eight strikeouts, done twice (both times against the Pirates). He gave up eight runs in a loss to Texas on May 12 and now eight earned runs in six starts since. Unfortunately, he's picked up wins in just two of those games. We're not optimistic that he'll keep it up, but he's certainly giving the Astros some hope for the future. After all, he's still just 22 years old.

Jordan Lyles was handed a no-decision Friday after he gave up two runs over seven innings against the Royals.

Lyles scattered six hits while walking one batter and striking out three. The 22-year-old has now allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last five starts and has brought his ERA down to a respectable 4.03 for the year. Wins will be hard to come by with Houston, but he may have some value in AL-only leagues yet.

Jordan Lyles allowed two runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings in his start Sunday against the Angels.

Lyle continues to receive little run support, but managed to come away with just his third win of the season. He finished five strikeouts, one walk, and was removed after 102 pitches. Lyle has quality starts in two of his last three outings. His next start will come Friday against the Royals.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

Jordan Lyles pitched seven strong innings against the Rockies on Tuesday, surrendering just one run.

Lyles has allowed three earned runs over 18 innings in his last three starts. We'd still recommend staying away from him in AL-only leagues, but the Astros have to be pleased with what they've seen of him so far; he's given them an opportunity to win five of his six times out.

Jordan Lyles went six innings, allowing just one run, as the Astros beat the Royals on Wednesday.

Lyles has made five starts in May, with Wednesday's being his best of the bunch. He struck out just three but limited the Royals to six hits in his six innings. Aside from one bad start in which he allowed eight runs in four innings, Lyles has been serviceable for the Astros thus far. His next start will be Tuesday against the Rockies.

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.

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.

Jordan Lyles - S - Astros

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 - S - Astros

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 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.
