Astros Third Baseman Isaac Paredes Reinjures Hamstring Amid Key Injuries

News summary

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes left a game against the Seattle Mariners with right hamstring discomfort, raising concerns about another injury for a team already dealing with multiple absences. Paredes, the team's home run leader and an American League All-Star replacement, had previously strained his right hamstring in June, missing three games then, but returned to play 26 games without incident. After pulling up lame while running to first base, Paredes left the game and is set to have tests in Houston, with his manager noting the situation "doesn't look very good." His potential absence would further impact an Astros lineup missing key players like Jeremy Peña, Jake Meyers, and Yordan Alvarez due to injuries. Paredes has been a crucial part of the Astros' offense, leading the team in home runs and maintaining a high OPS, as well as serving as leadoff hitter in Peña's absence. The Astros are considering options like Mauricio Dubón and Zack Short to fill in if Paredes is sidelined, but his injury adds significant uncertainty to the team's infield and lineup continuity.
