Astros’ Isaac Paredes Will Rehab Hamstring Injury Instead of Undergoing Season-Ending Surgery

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, AUG 4 – Isaac Paredes, batting .259 with 19 home runs, chose rehab over surgery to avoid a six-month recovery and aims to return this season, Astros GM Dana Brown said.

  • Isaac Paredes, the Astros' third baseman, suffered a severe right hamstring strain on July 19 in Seattle and was added to the injured list the following day.
  • After medical evaluations and a second opinion, Paredes chose to rehab the injury instead of season-ending surgery, which would have sidelined him at least six months.
  • The Astros acquired Carlos Correa from the Twins on July 31 to strengthen third base during Paredes' absence, and Correa has started there for the first time in his MLB career.
  • General manager Dana Brown stated that Paredes underwent a PRP treatment and will spend an extended period resting before starting rehabilitation, with hopes of returning to play before the season concludes, which still has about 50 games left.
  • Paredes' recovery decision presents challenges for the Astros late in the season, but the team's infield depth and his dedication offer potential advantages for their playoff pursuit.
