Jun 19 2025Dezenzo (hand) has not resumed hitting since being placed on the injured list June 3, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There haven't been many updates on Dezenzo's status, likely because he hasn't made much progress in his recovery from a capsule strain in his hand. There's no timeline for his return, though he'll almost certainly be out until July.
Jun 3 2025Dezenzo has been diagnosed with a capsule strain in his left hand and will be re-imaged in two weeks, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dezenzo suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Rays and was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. More should be known about a timetable for his return when he's re-imaged, but he's probably looking at a late-June return in a best-case scenario.
Jun 1 2025The Astros placed Dezenzo on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left hand inflammation, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old departed Saturday's contest due to the injury and will be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. One of the Astros' top prospects, Jacob Melton, was called up in a corresponding move Sunday to bolster Houston's outfield depth.
May 31 2025Dezenzo was removed in the sixth inning of Saturday's game against the Rays due to left hand discomfort, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dezenzo felt discomfort in his left hand during his last plate appearance in the fourth inning, and he was replaced by Mauricio Dubon in left field at the top of the sixth frame, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Dezenzo went 1-for-2 with a run scored prior to his exit.
May 28 2025Dezenzo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Astros have settled on a primary outfield of Jose Altuve, Jake Meyers and Cam Smith, leaving Dezenzo without regular playing time. He drew only his second start in the last week (seven games), even in the absence of Yordan Alvarez (hand). Dezenzo took advantage of his rare start, tallying his second home run of the season and first multi-hit performance since May 4.
May 21 2025Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest at Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dezenzo's playing time has dipped lately, as he has now started every other game across the last five contests. Mauricio Dubon will cover left field and hit ninth for the Astros on Wednesday.
May 19 2025Dezenzo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dezenzo will hit the bench for the second time in three games while he's fallen into a bit of a rough patch at the plate. Over his last 10 contests, Dezenzo has slashed .188/.333/.281 with a 35.9 percent strikeout rate. Chas McCormick will cover left field Monday in Dezenzo's stead.
May 8 2025Dezenzo went 1-for-2 with an RBI, two walks and two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dezenzo's playing time was already ticking up, but it's even more secure with Yordan Alvarez (hand) sidelined. He has started four of five games with Alvarez out of the lineup, during which Dezenzo has gone 4-for-12 with two doubles, three walks, four RBI and six runs scored.
May 4 2025Dezenzo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's rain-shortened 5-4 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dezenzo started over Cam Smith in right field for the second consecutive day, making the most of it by slugging a 393-foot home run off Bryse Wilson in the fifth inning. Dezenzo has now started four of the last five games in the outfield, batting .308 (4-for-13) over that span. He may be overtaking Smith for playing time. Overall, Dezenzo is slashing .283/.327/.413 with 3:15 BB:K across 49 plate appearances.
