Astros Claim Back-to-Back Wins Despite Mounting Injuries

Manager Joe Espada has reshuffled the lineup by moving Yainer Diaz into the second spot to cover for Isaac Paredes’s left hamstring strain.

Overview

  • Framber Valdez struck out 12 batters in five innings for his sixth consecutive win and set a franchise record for most K’s in a start of five innings or fewer.
  • Jose Altuve doubled twice and drove in two runs to help secure the 4-3 victory over the White Sox on June 12.
  • Isaac Paredes was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain after exiting Thursday’s game and is considered day-to-day.
  • Jacob Melton left Friday’s 10-3 rout of the Twins with right ankle soreness and will undergo further evaluation before his status is determined.
  • Yordan Alvarez remains out with a fractured hand while Chas McCormick and Zach Dezenzo continue their recovery on the injured list, forcing Houston to manage its bench tightly.
