Brocail available to pitch again: The Houston Chronicle reports that Doug Brocail was available to pitch again on Tuesday, a day after manager Cecil Cooper made it a point to avoid his veteran righthander. "He'd be fine (Tuesday)," Cooper said of Brocail. "We just wanted to stay back. He just had several days in a row." (Updated 07/02/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Brocail picked up two victories in a row his last two outings for the Astros, including a three strikeout effort. He's leading Houston in appearances because he's doing a solid job. Still, leave him for deeper NL-only leagues that require the use of true middle men unless Jose Valverde falters and Brocail becomes the team's fallback closer. (Updated 07/02/2008).
