What's Happening?
Astros general manager Dana Brown announced that Isaac Paredes' right hamstring strain is more severe than initially thought. Paredes, who was placed on the injured list a week ago, is set to receive a second opinion within the next week. The team is preparing for the possibility that Paredes may be sidelined well into August or September, with Mauricio Dubon taking over as the primary third baseman in his absence.
Why It's Important?
Paredes' injury could have significant implications for the Astros as they navigate the remainder of the season. His absence may affect the team's performance and strategy, particularly in maintaining their competitive edge. The decision to seek a second opinion underscores the seriousness of the injury and the team's need to plan for a potentially extended recovery period.
