The Houston Astros are facing significant challenges as they navigate injuries to key players. Third baseman Isaac Paredes is sidelined with a hamstring injury that is “a little bit more severe than we had projected,” according to general manager Dana Brown. Additionally, shortstop Jeremy Peña is on the injured list due to a fractured rib, raising concerns about the team’s infield depth as the season progresses.

Reports suggest that Paredes could miss the rest of the season, prompting the Astros to explore trade options, including Arizona’s Eugenio Suárez and St. Louis’ Nolan Arenado.

- Correa remains a focal point in trade discussions, with salary negotiations ongoing.
- Communication between Correa and the Twins’ management is reportedly strong.
As the trade deadline approaches, fans can expect heightened activity in the market. Will the Astros make a move that could change their fortunes this season?
