Isaac Paredes Fantasy Stats

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said last week at the GM meetings in Las Vegas that third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) is around 65% recovered from his right-hamstring injury. "We'll feel like he'll at least get to somewhere between 80 and 90 percent at the start of the spring and potentially be ready to go by Opening Day," Brown said. The 26-year-old tore his hamstring in the middle of July and was limited to designated hitter duties late in the season when he returned. The Mexican infielder had a fine 2025 campaign when he was on the field, hitting .254/.352/.458 with an .809 OPS, 20 home runs, 53 RBI, and 53 runs scored in 102 games in his first year in Houston. Although Paredes might not be a full-go for the start of the 2026 regular season, he won't be a bad target for some power at third base once the bigger names at the position come off the board in fantasy drafts.

Houston Astros infielder Isaac Paredes (hamstring) is expected to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list before the series opener on Friday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, a source told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. It's perfect timing for the Astros to get Paredes back in a huge series that could ultimately decide the winner of the American League West this year. Paredes was hitting .259/.359/.470 with a team-high 19 home runs and 50 RBI in 94 games before suffering a strained hamstring on July 19 in Seattle. The Astros have not released their starting lineup for Friday's game against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo, but Paredes should be back at third base for Houston while batting in the middle of their order. With Paredes back, Houston now will have the luxury of mixing and matching with Paredes and Carlos Correa between third and designated hitter.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) has "an outside chance" to return from the 60-day injured list this weekend, according to general manager Dana Brown. Paredes has been participating in baseball activities in Florida, and while the GM admitted that it "may be a long shot," getting him back for a series against the Seattle Mariners would be a significant development for the Astros. They trail the surging Mariners by a half-game in the race for the AL West title and have gone almost two months without Paredes, who strained his right hamstring on July 19. The 26-year-old slashed .259/.359/.470 with 19 homers, 50 RBI, and 51 runs scored over 409 trips to the plate in the first few months of the season en route to his second straight All-Star nod. If Paredes does come back soon, it could soften the blow of a potentially lengthy Yordan Alvarez (ankle) absence. The designated hitter is dealing with a "severe" ankle sprain that will force him to miss an undetermined amount of time.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) was able to field grounders and do some running in the outfield ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. It's worth noting that Paredes did have a follow-up MRI on Tuesday. The results of the testing weren't revealed, but the fact Paredes is back on the field suggests it was positive. The plan is for Paredes to travel to Florida to continue rehabbing this week. He's not 100 percent healthy, but is doing much better. He has been sidelined with a hamstring issue since the middle of July. The Astros are hopeful that Paredes can return before the end of the season. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Paredes on their IR with hopes that he'll be able to help them again this season.

The Houston Astros moved third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday. The move means Paredes won't be eligible to return until mid-September, and it's up in the air whether he'll play again this year. Paredes went on the IL on July 20 with a significant right-hamstring strain, which could go down as a season-ending injury. The 26-year-old earned his second straight All-Star invitation in the first half after slashing .259/.359/.470 with 19 homers, 50 RBI, and 51 runs scored over 409 plate appearances. Paredes recently underwent a PRP injection and is putting off surgery in hopes of coming back this year. If he's unable to do that, the Astros are prepared to go without him after acquiring Carlos Correa and Ramon Urias at last week's trade deadline.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) will not undergo season-ending surgery and is hopeful to return to the field this season, according to general manager Dana Brown. Paredes recently received a PRP injection and will go the rest and rehab route instead of surgery. That being said, Paredes will attempt to resume baseball activities once the injection takes effect. It's worth noting that the Astros have added insurance at third base with Ramon Urias and Carlos Correa. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on getting anything out of Paredes this season. He still has a long way to go before getting back into game action.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) may miss the remainder of the 2025 season due to a potential surgery. The injury deals a major blow to Houston's lineup as they gear up for a playoff run. With the trade deadline approaching, the Astros are exploring replacements, including Nolan Arenado, Eugenio Suarez, and a possible reunion with Carlos Correa. Correa, a former franchise cornerstone, is seen as the most likely target. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can move on from Paredes and monitor who fills the void in Houston's lineup for potential waiver pickups.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) could end up missing more time than first expected. Astros general manager Dana Brown recently said Paredes' hamstring strain is more severe than they first thought. The team plans to have Paredes get a second opinion on his hamstring. There is roughly only two months left of the regular season and Paredes seems likely to miss most of it. Fantasy managers should keep holding Paredes on their IR spot if possible. There should be more news on his status following the second opinion.

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) is dealing with a significant injury to his hamstring, reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. There's no official word on how long he will be out, but based on the reports so far, it sounds like he will be out much longer than the minimum 10 days. The 26-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list after departing Saturday's game with a right hamstring strain. The slugger was having a huge breakout with his new team with 19 home runs on the season, and it's unfortunate that he may miss the majority of the rest of the season.

The Houston Astros have placed third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring. In other moves, the team is bringing up infielders Shay Whitcomb and Jon Singleton from Triple-A Sugar Land to help cover for Paredes' loss. Paredes was expected to land on the IL after he came up limping on a single in Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners and had to leave early. The severity of the injury is unknown, but an extended absence would be a significant blow to the Astros. Paredes has been a crucial part of their lineup this season. He made his second straight All-Star team this year and has slashed .259/.359/.470 with 19 homers, 50 RBI, and 51 runs scored in 409 plate appearances. There's no realistic way to replace that type of production from within, though the Astros will try to make do with their in-house options for now. Whitcomb and Mauricio Dubon are among those who could see time at the hot corner in Paredes' absence.
