Astros Lead AL West Amid Multiple Key Player Injuries
The Houston Astros are facing significant injury challenges in the 2025 season, with key players like infielder Luis Guillorme, star shortstop Jeremy Peña, and slugging designated hitter Yordan Alvarez all on the injured list. Guillorme was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, while Peña suffered a small rib fracture after being hit by a pitch, sidelining him for at least a few weeks. Alvarez, sidelined since early May due to a hand injury, remains shut down with an uncertain timeline for return, possibly requiring surgery. Despite these setbacks and having 14 players on their injured list, the Astros continue to lead the American League West comfortably. The team's depth has allowed them to maintain strong performance, with replacements filling in effectively, but the absence of Alvarez’s power bat presents a challenge for postseason success. Manager Joe Espada and the Astros organization are navigating these injuries while aiming to sustain their competitive edge through the remainder of the season.
