The Houston Astros are likely to be without Isaac Pardes for the next several months, and it's quite possible that he'll need season-ending surgery. The Astros infielder is seeking a second opinion for his injured hamstring.
In the meantime, however, the Astros have found their replacement. Late on Wednesday night, with less than 24 hours remaining before the MLB trade deadline passed, Houston pulled off a trade with the Baltimore Orioles for infielder Ramon Urias.
Urias was a Gold Glove Award-winner with the Orioles back in 2022 and has maintained a steady albeit, lackluster bat over the years.
