Isaac Paredes Homers, Exits Early With Hamstring Injury
Isaac Paredes (hamstring) hit a key home run to help the club to a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Paredes' solo blast, his team-leading 15th of the year, gave the Astros a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. He ended the night 1-for-3 before Mauricio Dubon replaced him at third base in the top of the eighth. Manager Joe Espada announced after the game that Paredes departed with a left-hamstring issue, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The Astros will have more information on Paredes on Friday. The 26-year-old has emerged as a major part of the Astros' offense this season with a .255/.353/.478 slash line, 42 RBI, and a career-high 12.3% walk rate in 292 plate appearances. The hope is that he won't require a stint on the injured list.
