Paredes’ Injury, Possible Correa Reunion and More: Here’s What to Follow for the Astros Ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 30 – The Astros face a roster challenge after Isaac Paredes' hamstring injury and are weighing options including Carlos Correa, Nolan Arenado, and Eugenio Suárez before the trade deadline.
- The Houston Astros are dealing with a major setback as All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes sustained a right hamstring injury on July 19, putting him out of action for an extended time.
- This injury prompted the Astros to seek infield reinforcements before Thursday's 5 p.m. MLB trade deadline, with former Astro Carlos Correa emerging as a potential target.
- Correa, a three-time All-Star shortstop who was first selected by Houston in 2012, is currently signed with Minnesota on a six-season deal valued at $200 million, which includes complete no-trade rights.
- This season, Correa has a.267/.319/.386 slash line with a 93 OPS+ in 93 games but deals with chronic plantar fasciitis and is considered by some analysts to be in early decline.
- If acquired, Correa would likely shift to third base to replace Paredes, but the Twins' high asking price and Correa’s substantial salary commitments make a trade uncertain ahead of the deadline.
