6/18/25 | Astros get good news on Yordan Alvarez amid injury recovery. The Houston Astros have been staying afloat while their superstar slugger, Yordan Alvarez, sits on the injured list. While the team is atop the American League West, getting Alvarez back into the lineup would be a huge boost to the team's confidence and offense. Astros writer Michael Schwab shared on Twitter/X that during an interview on the Sean Unfiltered show, Dana Brown provided a positive update on the injury recovery of Alvarez.

6/15/25 | Ranking Most Likely Astros Trade Deadline Targets Listed by Former MLB Executive. It didn't seem like this would be the case a couple of months ago, but the Houston Astros now find themselves in the familiar territory of looking around at potential acquirable assets before the trade deadline. With a 40-30 record entering Sunday that is even more remarkable when considering all the injuries they have suffered, the Astros will likely try to bolster their roster once again. Jim Bowden of The Athletic (subscription required) thinks that any left-handed hitter is the biggest need for Houston, and it's hard to argue with that. Since Yordan Alvarez went down with his injury, the Astros have only had one left-handed bat in their lineup -- switch-hitting Victor Caratini -- before they called up the now-injured Jacob Melton.

6/14/25 | Astros Calling Up Outfielder Who Was Their Spring Training Standout. As the Houston Astros continue to play some great baseball, they have recently selected the contract of a player who will hopefully help them in the outfield. While the Astros have had a great season so far, they need a boost offensively. With veterans like Yordan Alvarez injured and Christian Walker and Jose Altuve struggling, the unit has been lackluster at times. Fortunately, youngsters Isaac Paredes and Jeremy Pena have been good enough to cover up for some of the issues. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/astros-calling-... |
6/13/25 | Former MLB Exec Shares His Favorite Target for Astros Ahead of Trade Deadline. The Houston Astros have caught fire in recent weeks despite some major obstacles to overcome. Arrighetti is at least going to come back this year, but the other two both underwent season-ending procedures on their elbow. In the lineup, they have been without star designated hitter Yordan Alvarez, who hasn't played since May 2 and was diagnosed with a fracture in his hand earlier this month. With just over a month until the MLB trade deadline, the Astros should be very active in seeking upgrades to keep their playoff streak alive.

6/13/25 | Astros urged to trade for Orioles' left-handed slugger. The Houston Astros need on their roster to add another bat to the lineup. With Yordan Alvarez out due to a hand injury, which is seemingly not getting any better, the Astros need to find a solution to their left-handed hitting woes. Kenneth Teape of Sports Illustrated presented a solution for the Astros, urging the Astros to swing a deal for Baltimore Orioles first baseman and outfielder Ryan O'Hearn. "Houston should be making calls to get a deal done for O'Hearn right away," Teape writes. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/houston-astros... |

With no timetable revealed for his return, the Astros have been fortunate enough to have some of their players step up and perform in his absence.

6/02/25 | Should Astros Look to Grab Ryan McMahon From Rockies at MLB Trade Deadline?. The Houston Astros are red-hot, winners of 7 of their last 10 contests and just a half-game behind the Seattle Mariners for first place in the American League West division. After a slow start, the Astros are back to looking like possible contenders despite some brutal injury luck. Slugging designated hitter Yordan Alvarez's status has gone from bad to worse, and pitcher Ronel Blanco was recently lost for the season with an elbow injury. Pitching will be a clear area of need at the trade deadline, but general manager Dana Brown should look to add to the lineup, too. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/should-astros-l... |
