Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes injures right hamstring
A team that can ill afford any more injuries might have absorbed another. Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes, an American League All-Star and the team's home run leader, exited Saturday's game at T-Mobile Park with what the team described as right hamstring discomfort. Paredes pulled up lame while running to first base after a third-inning single. He had a significant limp while approaching the bag and exited the game after a visit from manager Joe Espada and Houston's athletic training staff. Advertisement Paredes strained his left hamstring during a June 12 game against the Chicago White Sox but missed just three games and did not require a trip to the injured list. Paredes played the next 26 games without an obvious incident, though the Astros allowed him to be careful running the bases. His presence has been one of the lone constants for an Astros lineup combating an avalanche of injuries. Paredes started his 88th game of the season Saturday. His 94 appearances trail Jose Altuve's for the team lead. Paredes' 19 home runs are the most by any qualified Astro, and his .829 OPS trails just shortstop Jeremy Peña's for the team lead. Peña is on the IL with a left rib fracture, part of an injury inundation that has left Houston's lineup searching for continuity. Slugger Yordan Alvarez has not appeared in a game since May 2 while recovering from a fractured hand. Peña and resurgent center fielder Jake Meyers have joined Alvarez on the IL in recent weeks. If Paredes joins them, it would render the Astros' infield into an almost unrecognizable state. Utilityman Mauricio Dubón is already playing shortstop in Peña's stead but could shift to third base if Paredes must miss time. Veteran journeyman Zack Short, who replaced Paredes on Saturday, is the most obvious candidate to gain more playing time. Infielder Shay Whitcomb is the only healthy position player on Houston's 40-man roster, meaning he is the most likely call-up if Paredes requires a trip to the IL.

BREAKING NEWS MLB icon pulls out of All-Star Game amid mysterious 'family matter' in major blow
Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes has dropped out of next week's All-Star Game to attend to as yet unspecified family matter. Paredes was added to the roster on Wednesday after Cleveland's José Ramírez opted out to rest a nagging Achilles tendon injury. Paredes was in the Astros' lineup at designated hitter Sunday for the finale of a series against the Texas Rangers and manager Joe Espada said he wouldn't miss any time after the break because of the issue. 'Oh yeah, he'll be back,' Espada said. 'He just needs to go and spend some time and take care of some family matters, but... he's fine.' It was the second straight season Paredes had been named an All-Star, and the Astros posted an emotional video of the moment he found out in the clubhouse earlier in the week. Speaking to his teammates, he said: 'Thanks to everyone for the support. I think when I got here, I was a little timid. Roll out the red carpet! See ya in ATL, Isaac. — Houston Astros (@astros) July 9, 2025 'I knew I was coming to a winning organization and well, ever since I got here at Spring Training, they welcomed me like family. 'I'm grateful to the whole team and the entire staff.' In response, his manager told him: 'We love you man. You're a great player but you're a great human.' The 26-year-old is in his first season with the Astros after a trade from the Cubs. He entered Sunday hitting .254 with 19 homers and 49 RBIs.
