Astros Star Seeks Second Opinion on Potential Season-Ending Injury

The Houston Astros have a reputation connected with the Killer B's. However, this isn't referring to the iconic group from the 1990s consisting of (Craig) Biggio, (Jeff) Bagwell, and (Derek) Bell. Instead, we're discussing something worn down, injured, and damaged.

A recent addition to the Astros' disabled list is All-Star Isaac Paredes , as the third baseman suffered a right hamstring injury when he fell to first base following a single hit into left field against the Seattle Mariners on July 20. At first diagnosed as a strain, additional examinations showed that the damage was significantly worse than originally believed.

On Wednesday, a league insider told KPRC 2's Ari Alexander that Paredes is expected to miss at least two months of play. Paredes plans to obtain another medical perspective and hopes to prevent surgical intervention for his hamstring injury. A 26-year-old player struck out 19 times. and 50 RBI in his initial season so far with the Astros. Paredes faced a hamstring issue early in the campaign and had to sit out for some games.

Earlier on Wednesday, USA Today reporter Bob Nightengale stated that the The Astros could be considering bringing back their former star player, Carlos Correa. through a deal with the Minnesota Twins. The Twins have a substantial level of team debt as the owners get ready to put the franchise up for sale. However, unless Minnesota is willing to take on a major portion of Correa's contract, Houston may seek another powerful hitter to fill the third base position.

Additional potential third-base trade options consist of Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals and Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks. It should be mentioned that Arenado was heavily pursued by the Astros prior to the start of the season. Nevertheless, Arenado showed little interest, considering teams such as the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers as more appealing choices. Suarez, who is likely the top performer among the trio, will become a free agent during the off-season and would require substantial resources for any team looking to secure his services.

Another factor the Astros should take into account is the waiver wire following the trading deadline. Several teams, such as the Twins, might be looking to reduce their spending and minimize losses. This situation could present opportunities to bring in more affordable players onto the team while providing some breathing room. for other star athletes to come back into the team for other prominent players to rejoin the roster for other top-tier players to make their comeback for other key players to return to the squad for other celebrated athletes to be added back to the line-up for other major stars to resume playing with the team for other leading players to get back into action for other famous names to join the lineup again for other standout performers to return to the game for other notable players to reintegrate into the team with a clear medical report with good health credentials having no health issues in perfect health free from illness with optimal wellness without any medical concerns in sound physical condition with all systems functioning properly meeting standard health requirements
