The injuries continue to mount for the Houston Astros. The latest victim is third baseman Isaac Paredes, who has not played since July 20 with what was originally diagnosed as a hamstring strain, but is now expected to miss 6-7 months with a hamstring tear, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

The Houston Astros received significant injury news on Thursday, hours before the MLB trade deadline at 6 p.m. ET. With a five-game lead over the Seattle Mariners in the American League West, the Astros are focused on making a deep postseason run in October, but it will be challenging to do so without one of their best hitters.

HOUSTON — With less than 24 hours until the trade deadline, the Houston Astros have reportedly made a deal. According to MLB.com citing sources, the team traded for third baseman Ramón Urías from the Baltimore Orioles. In exchange, Houston is sending minor league pitcher Twine Palmore to Baltimore.
