After the latest update from general manager Dana Brown over the weekend, it seems that the Houston Astros will be without All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes for a considerable amount of time. While joining the Astros' pregame show, Brown confirmed that Paredes is seeking a second opinion on his hamstring injury, and the belief is that the injury is worse than originally thought.
With Paredes seeking a second opinion, it would seem that the Astros may be without their starting third baseman for the rest of the season. While providing the update on Paredes, Brown maintained that the Astros were still in the market for a left-handed bat.
