Astros' Nick Allen: Three hits in Sunday's win
Allen went 3-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
There's not often room in the lineup for Allen when the Astros' infield is healthy, but he got a start at third base while Isaac Paredes served as the designated hitter Sunday. Allen has gone 9-for-29 (.310) over 18 contests in August, but it would take an injury for his playing time to meaningfully increase. He's hitting .276 with a .683 OPS, two home runs, two stolen bases, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored and five doubles over 143 plate appearances this season.

Astros' LaMonte Wade: Homers off bench Sunday
Wade went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
Wade's sixth-inning homer was the difference in this contest after he pinch hit for Cam Smith. Filling a part-time role, Wade has gone 10-for-37 (.270) over 19 contests in August, including three extra-base hits and five RBI. He's batting .210 with a .681 OPS, three homers, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases across 118 plate appearances in his first year with the Astros.

Astros' Jeremy Pena: Strikes early in win
Pena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
Pena took Zac Thornton's third pitch of the game out to center field for a leadoff homer. After an injury scare Thursday following a hit-by-pitch on his left hand, Pena has remained steady, going 4-for-12 across three games in the weekend series against the Mets. The shortstop is hitting .284 on the year with an .822 OPS, 17 homers, 46 RBI, 67 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 87 contests.

Astros' Josh Hader: Claims 21st save
Hader allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets. He didn't strike out or walk a batter.
Hader got by pitching to contact Sunday, throwing seven of 13 pitches for strikes. He remains perfect in save chances, converting all 21 that have come his way this year, and he's on a 19-inning scoreless streak with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. Hader has a stellar 0.74 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB through 36.1 innings this season.

Astros' Ethan Pecko: Collects first big-league win
Pecko (1-0) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Mets on Sunday.
Pecko's start got off to a brutal beginning, as Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto tagged him for back-to-back solo shots on consecutive pitches. From there, Pecko settled in and got enough run support to come away with the win. He's now posted a 6.23 ERA and 9:9 K:BB through 13 innings over his first three starts in the majors. It's unclear if Pecko will stick around on the Astros' roster once Mike Burrows (elbow) returns from the injured list.

Astros' Cristian Javier: Takes loss in bulk relief
Javier (1-5) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
All of the damage against Javier came in a three-run fifth inning, and he threw a strong 57 of 78 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. The 29-year-old did manage to keep the ball in the park for the first time in five August contests, but he'll end the month 0-4 with a 5.79 ERA despite a strong 21:4 K:BB over those five outings. He owns a 6.45 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB across 44.2 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Goes deep in loss
Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a sacrifice fly in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.
Alvarez produced both of the Astros' runs, opening the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the eighth. The long ball was just his second in 25 August games, though he still owns a .919 OPS during that stretch. The 29-year-old nears the final month of the regular season eyeing the American League Triple Crown, leading in batting average (.320), homers (37) and RBI (93) to go along with 90 runs scored and a stolen base across 588 plate appearances.

Astros' Ethan Pecko: Starting Sunday
Pecko will start for the Astros in Sunday's series finale against the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Mike Burrows (elbow) made his third rehab outing this past Wednesday, so Pecko will get one more turn through the rotation until the former is officially cleared to return from the injured list. Pecko has struggled over the first two games of his major-league career, allowing seven runs on eight hits (including two homers) and seven walks while striking out five across eight innings.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Heading to bench Saturday
Diaz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate as Diaz rests after catching back-to-back games. Diaz's .705 OPS for the season is right in line with his .701 mark from 2025, but he sits at half of last year's homer total of 20, having missed roughly a month and a half earlier in the season with an oblique injury.

Astros' Cam Smith: Sitting again Saturday
Smith is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
This marks Smith's second consecutive absence from the lineup, with both absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers (Christian Scott and Nolan McLean). Smith has just one hit in his last 25 at-bats and may continue to yield starts to Taylor Trammell in right field until he begins showing signs of coming out of this funk.

Astros' Josh Hader: Reaches 20-save mark
Hader earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Mets, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Hader was called in to protect a two-run lead and retired the heart of the Mets' order to slam the door. The 32-year-old is a perfect 20-for-20 in converting save chances in 2026, with his last blown save coming July 12 of last season. On the year, he owns a 0.76 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB across 35.1 innings while holding opponents scoreless in 33 of 36 contests.

Astros' Hunter Brown: Strikes out 10 in win
Brown (4-3) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over 6.2 innings.
Brown delivered his first double-digit strikeout performance of the campaign, generating 14 whiffs on 102 pitches and working into the seventh inning for the second time in 15 starts. It also broke a streak of five straight outings in which the 28-year-old allowed a home run, and he'll end August with a solid 3.18 ERA over 28.1 innings. He owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 86:44 K:BB across 81 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the White Sox next week.

Astros' Bennett Sousa: Opening Saturday
Sousa will serve as the opening pitcher during Saturday's game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Sousa gave up four earned runs while recording just one out during his last appearance Wednesday, but the Astros will trust him to work the first inning of Saturday's contest in what will be the left-hander's first career start. Cristian Javier is expected to work in bulk relief once Sousa comes out of the game.

Astros' Cam Smith: Riding pine Friday
Smith is absent from the lineup for Friday's affair with the Mets.
After back-to-back games in which he failed to reach base against the Yankees, Smith will take a breather for Friday's series opener. Taylor Trammell will move over to right field and bat eighth for Houston.

Astros' Jeremy Pena: In Friday's lineup
Pena (hand) is in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Mets, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
After taking a fastball off his left hand during Thursday's series finale against the Yankees, Pena is good to go for Friday's series opener with the Mets after X-rays came back negative. Pena will lead off and man shortstop for Houston.
