We know that Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown are a heck of a 1-2 punch at the top of the Astros’ rotation. But there are serious questions about who would slot in as a Game 3 starter for Houston, should the club secure a postseason berth. Perhaps just as important right now, the Astros need another quality starter to help fend off the Mariners and clinch yet another division title. —Brent Maguire, MLB.com
Andrew Vaughn, 1B, Brewers
After a failed run with the White Sox, Vaughn has become one of the best hitters in baseball since he got to Milwaukee, a key part of the Brewers’ recent success. Milwaukee, which is an incredible 39-11 since trading for Vaughn, will be without Jackson Chourio for the next few weeks as he recovers from a hamstring injury. As a result, the Brewers will need their new first baseman and his increased production even more down the stretch as the team looks to tie a bow on the NL Central title and make a run at baseball’s No. 1 seed in the postseason. —Russell Dorsey, Yahoo Sports
