Astros Target New Pitcher, Activate Prospect in Push

News summary

The Houston Astros are actively seeking to improve their roster before the MLB trade deadline, targeting outfielders Jesus Sanchez (Marlins) and Ryan O'Hearn (Orioles) to bolster their offense, and pitchers MacKenzie Gore (Nationals) and Joe Ryan (Twins) to enhance their rotation depth. Their urgency is fueled by recent injuries and pressure from AL West rivals, particularly the Mariners and Rangers. The Astros have also activated outfield prospect Jacob Melton, which could reduce the need for an external left-handed hitter if he performs well. The Marlins may be willing to trade Sanchez to make room for new talent, while the Nationals and Twins are open to talks about their controllable pitchers but may demand significant returns. These roster decisions are crucial for the Astros as they strive to maintain their division lead and pursue another World Series run. The outcome of these moves will shape Houston's immediate and long-term competitiveness.
