Overview

  • Isaac Paredes is expected to miss the rest of the 2025 season with a torn left hamstring, though there is hope he returns by Opening Day 2026.
  • Paredes’s .259/.359/.470 slash line with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs underscored the scale of the offensive and defensive void he leaves.
  • Houston traded minor league pitcher Twine Palmer to the Orioles for veteran infielder Ramón Urías to bolster third-base depth.
  • Front-office sources say the Astros are exploring blockbuster trades for Nolan Arenado or Carlos Correa ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
  • The Astros still hold a five-game lead in the AL West and remain on track for a postseason push despite the setback.
