The Houston Astros' health issues persist, as two more players received injury updates following Friday's win against the Minnesota Twins.

Isaac Paredes' hamstring injury hasn't forced him to the IL yet, but Jacob Melton's new ankle injury could lead to a prolonged absence.

The Houston Astros have enjoyed a measure of success offensively with Jeremy Pena, Isaac Paredes and Jose Altuve occupying the top three spots in their batting order.

Mike Tauchman homered in the ninth, but the Chicago White Sox couldn’t complete the comeback in a 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Thursday.

Framber Valdez has racked up double-digit strikeouts on fewer than 100 pitches in each of his last two starts, leading the Houston Astros to victory both times.

The Move for the Astros comes after outfielder Jacob Melton suffered a sprained ankle in the Astros' win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Hummel, a 30-year-old journeyman veteran, has limited MLB experience since being drafted in 2016.
