Hector Rondon - how should we handle him tonight?

[benembry]

Hector Rondon is opening for the Astros tonight. He’s currently not SP eligible. Will we get credit if he’s in one of our RP slots?

He will need to be put into a SP slot if he is starting. All pitchers can be put into SP or RP slots regardless of eligibility. Please read this thread:

Pitchers and SP/RP eligibility

The example to start the season is Lance Lynn. An owner in my league is wondering if he/she simply has to forego 5 starts worth of Lynn points because Lynn is currently only RP eligible, and thus cannot accrue points if he starts games. I sympathize with him on this complaint. What’s the verdict? Lynn likely isn’t the only example.

Thanks
