Just when it seemed Houston Astros fans finally got some good news on Yordan Álvarez, who has started taking swings as he tried to return from a hand injury that has sidelined him since early May, disaster has struck another All-Star who has been a cornerstone in the Astros' starting lineup. During Saturday's loss to the Seattle Mariners, All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes was forced to leave the game after suffering a hamstring injury.
The injury occurred in the third inning after Paredes lined a single off the wall in left field.
