The Sports Xchange reports that Astros RHP Jack Cassel was optioned to Class AAA Round Rock (Texas) after Wednesday's game, clearing the way for 3B Ty Wigginton to be activated on Friday. "I knew how I was limited in my time here," said Cassel, who made two starts. "I know Wiggy's down doing his rehab assignment, so essentially it was going to be a numbers game. I was pleased with how I threw the ball in the two outings and very happy I was able to get that opportunity. I'm going to go down and have the same plan -- be the first guy they call up."

Fantasy Analysis
Cassel was 1-0 with a 5.59 ERA in two starts after getting called up on April 24 to take the rotation spot of Wandy Rodriguez. Even when with up with the Astros, he's not worth owning in any format. (Updated 05/01/2008).
