2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Zach Cole in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Signed a one-year contract with the Astros in September of 2025.
Homers in win
OFHouston Astros
September 15, 2025
Cole went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Analysis
Cole was slated for a day off, but he had to enter the game after Yordan Alvarez suffered a sprained ankle. Prior to Monday, Cole had made three straight starts in left field since he was called up Friday for his major-league debut, so he would be a natural replacement in the likely event Alvarez misses time. Cole has gone 6-for-13 with two homers and seven RBI over his first four games in the majors, though he's also struck out five times in 15 plate appearances.
