The Move for the Astros comes after outfielder Jacob Melton suffered a sprained ankle in the Astros' win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Hummel, a 30-year-old journeyman veteran, has limited MLB experience since being drafted in 2016.

Isaac Paredes' hamstring injury hasn't forced him to the IL yet, but Jacob Melton's new ankle injury could lead to a prolonged absence.

The Houston Astros have enjoyed a measure of success offensively with Jeremy Pena, Isaac Paredes and Jose Altuve occupying the top three spots in their batting order.

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick hit off a tee Friday in a step in his recovery from a left oblique strain, manager Joe Espada said. McCormick is on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 30 with the oblique strain, which occurred on a swing in a game against the Rays.

The Houston Astros play the Minnesota Twins after Jeremy Pena had four hits against the Twins on Friday. Houston has a 25-13 record in home games and a 39-30 record overall. The Astros are 31-12 in games when they have more hits than their opponents.

Why the Houston Astros must avoid trading top pitching prospect Miguel Ullola before the 2025 deadline to protect their future.

Paredes had started 22 consecutive games in the second spot since May 19, when Espada inserted him after leadoff hitter Jeremy Peña and moved Jose Altuve to the third spot.

Play him at second base, outfielder or designated hitter and it doesn’t matter. Houston Astros star Jose Altuve keeps producing.

Mike Tauchman homered in the ninth, but the Chicago White Sox couldn’t complete the comeback in a 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros on Thursday.

Jose Altuve and rookie Jacob Melton drove in three runs each as the Houston Astros jumped on Chris Paddack early and cruised to a 10-3 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Framber Valdez has racked up double-digit strikeouts on fewer than 100 pitches in each of his last two starts, leading the Houston Astros to victory both times.
