Overview

  • GM Dana Brown confirmed the Astros will pursue a non-surgical rehab approach for Paredes’s severe right hamstring strain rather than opt for season-ending surgery
  • Paredes has undergone a platelet-rich plasma injection and will spend an extended period resting his injured hamstring in Houston before beginning controlled exercises
  • Avoiding surgery spares Paredes from at least six months on the sidelines and follows MLB and NFL precedents where PRP therapy yielded full recoveries
  • Carlos Correa, acquired at the trade deadline, has shifted to third base to cover Paredes’s absence since the July 19 injury against Seattle
  • Before the strain, Paredes was hitting .259/.359/.470 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs and a successful comeback could bolster the AL West leaders’ postseason prospects
