Isaac Paredes Returns as DH on Monday
Isaac Paredes (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Sacramento against the Athletics, serving as the designated hitter and batting second versus A's right-hander Mitch Spence. Luis Guillorme will make another start at third base and bat ninth. Paredes missed the entire three-game series over the weekend after tweaking his left hamstring against the Chicago White Sox last Thursday, but he's back in action to start a new week for the 'Stros. The 26-year-old has been one of Houston's most productive bats in the first half of the season in his first year with the team, and he'll return to a .255/.353/.478 slash line with an .831 OPS, 15 homers, 42 RBI and 37 runs scored in 251 at-bats. Paredes has only faced Spence three times in his career and is hitless against him.
