The Houston Astros' trade deadline plans took a wild turn when the severity of Isaac Paredes' injury was revealed. The Astros had a sudden void to fill at third base in addition to all of their other roster needs, and his injury directly resulted in Houston's reunion with Carlos Correa.
While most Astros fans assumed that Paredes was likely to miss the remainder of the 2025 season, it sounds like he could return sooner than expected.
The timing of Paredes' injury could have derailed the Astros' season.
