Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images There will be no surgery for Isaac Paredes after he suffered a “significant” hamstring strain last month. Instead, the Houston Astros third baseman will rehab with the hopes of returning for a potential World Series run.
Astros general manager Dana Brown told reporters that Paredes, 26, received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and will need to undergo a “long period of letting it rest” before he can begin exercising again.
“In his whole opinion on this, he wants to work hard to try and get back this season,” Brown said before Houston’s game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. “Of course, he’s going to dedicate himself to getting back.”
A two-time All-Star, including this season, Paredes has missed the past 14 games after suffering the injury on July 19 in Seattle. After seeking multiple opinions on the best course of action, Paredes chose to rehab — especially after some suggested he undergo surgery, which could carry a recovery time of at least six months.
While Brown did not specify the grade of strain Paredes suffered, he emphasized that the injury was “significant” and “enough that it could require surgery if he wanted it.”
“I’m optimistic because he’s dedicated to coming back from this severe hamstring strain,” Brown said. “That gives me some optimism. I think he is watching what’s going on here and he wants to be a part of it. I think he’s going to work his tail off to try and get back.”
As the Astros prep for their 113th game of the regular season, the team holds a 2 1/2-game lead for the American League West. Paredes leads Houston with 19 home runs while batting a career-best .259.
With him sidelined, however, the Astros brought back Carlos Correa, who made the switch from shortstop to third base. The team also obtained Ramon Urias to further bolster the position.

Aug 27, 2025; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Griffin Jax (22) throws a pitch against the Cleveland Guardians during the tenth inning at Progressive Field. Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-Imagn Images Tampa Bay's top prospect, Carson Williams, is providing major contributions as the Rays make a strong September push. The shortstop and his teammates -- winners of a season-high seven straight games -- will face the visiting Cleveland Guardians Friday night in the second contest of their four-game series. The highly touted Williams, who homered in his major league debut on Aug. 22, went 1-for-1 with two RBIs and a walk in the Rays' 4-2 victory over the Guardians on Thursday.

Kansas City (71-69) is two games out of the final wild-card position after losing two of three to both to the Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Angels to begin the nine-game homestand. However, the Royals clubbed four solo homers to en route to comeback 4-3 victory on Thursday to avoid being swept by the Angels. "Let's […]
Data-backed NFL Bets: A top-down approach to beating the market in Week 1
Many NFL bettors start by looking at individual markets — like spreads, totals, teasers or props — and ask, “Which spread looks good?” or “What totals stand out this week?” This is a bottom-up approach, where you focus on specific bets first. In this space, we’ll take a different approach. We’ll focus on one game each week and use a top-down strategy to break it down. This means starting with the bigger picture — how teams, players or trends are performing — and then finding the best ways to apply that information to different betting markets. While some of our bets may focus on traditional markets, like spreads or totals, we’ll often explore other opportunities to maximize value. Atlanta Falcons (-5.5) +230 on Fan Duel Week 1 presents a natural opportunity for tails. With change comes uncertainty, and with uncertainty comes […]
