Astros Isaac Paredes Out Two Months Hamstring Injury

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season and possibly require season-ending surgery for a torn right hamstring, with recovery estimated at six to seven months. Paredes, who has been a key offensive player for the Astros this season, was placed on the injured list in late July after suffering the injury running to first base. The team is awaiting a second medical opinion before he decides on surgery. To compensate for Paredes' extended absence, the Astros traded for infielder Ramon Urias from the Baltimore Orioles just before the MLB trade deadline. Urias, a 2022 Gold Glove winner, will take over at third base, effectively ending rumors of pursuing higher-profile infielders like Carlos Correa or Nolan Arenado. Meanwhile, the Astros are reportedly considering other trades to strengthen their roster as they try to maintain their standings without Paredes.
