  • Astros' Isaac Paredes: Launches 12th homer

    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Rays.

    Paredes added an insurance run in the sixth inning by taking Mason Englert deep for his 12th home run of the season. The infielder has recorded a hit in four consecutive games as he continues to provide steady production in the heart of Houston's lineup. Across 356 plate appearances this season, Paredes is slashing .254/.348/.423 with 12 home runs, 16 doubles, 47 RBI and 36 runs scored.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Reaches 20 homers

    Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Rays.

    Walker opened the scoring in the fourth inning by taking Mason Englert deep for a solo homer. The veteran first baseman has slowed down at the plate recently, batting just .200 (11-for-55) with a 6:17 BB:K over his last 10 games. On the year, Walker is slashing .238/.311/.470 with 20 home runs, 16 doubles, one triple, 57 RBI and 47 runs scored across 90 games.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Collects ninth save

    Hader earned the save Sunday against the Rays, striking out two and walking one in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Hader entered with a two-run lead and worked around a leadoff walk to Junior Caminero to preserve the shutout and collect his ninth save of the season. The veteran closer has recorded multiple strikeouts in six of his last nine appearances and has been absolutely dominant since returning, converting all nine save opportunities while allowing just one run across 14 innings with a 24:7 K:BB.

  • Astros' Peter Lambert: Blanks Rays for seventh win

    Lambert (7-5) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.2 scoreless innings.

    Lambert threw 60 of his 90 pitches for strikes and racked up 18 swing-and-misses while never allowing more than one hit in any inning. The outing continued an excellent run for the right-hander, who has now limited opponents to two or fewer runs in six of his last seven starts. Lambert owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 74:32 K:BB across 80 innings this season. He's lined up to make his final start before the All-Star break on the road against the Rangers.

  • Astros' Nick Allen: Handling regular role at shortstop

    Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Since coming off the 10-day injured list Monday, Allen has drawn starts in five of Houston's ensuing six games while going 3-for-14 with a double, two walks, two runs and one RBI. Per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager Joe Espada said prior to Sunday's game that he anticipates top shortstop Jeremy Pena (calf) returning from the IL as soon as next Friday, so Allen's run as a regular in the lineup will soon come to an end.

  • Astros' Yainer Diaz: Receiving breather Sunday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    He'll rest up for the series finale after logging starts behind the plate in each of the Astros' previous four games. Christian Vazquez will serve as Houston's catcher Sunday.

  • Astros' Jeremy Pena: Could return next weekend

    Pena (calf) is expected to play in a couple of rehab games at Triple-A Sugar Land this week could return from the 10-day injured list during the Astros' final series before the All-Star break next weekend against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran shortstop landed on the shelf last Tuesday due to a calf strain, but his absence looks like it will end up being a brief one. Pena was swinging a hot bat prior to getting hurt, having gone 8-for-21 with two walks, three RBI and five runs in his last five games.

  • Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Six RBI in two-homer game

    Alvarez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI in Saturday's 10-8 win over the Rays.

    Alvarez bookended Saturday's game in dramatic fashion, first launching a first-inning solo shot and later blasting a walk-off, two-run jack in the ninth. The All-Star slugger now has a trio of three-hit games in his past four outings and four multi-homer efforts on the year. Through 388 plate appearances, Alvarez is slashing a robust .324/.433/.645 with 29 long balls, 16 doubles and 67 RBI.

  • Astros' Hunter Brown: Peppered for seven runs

    Brown took a no-decision Saturday against the Rays, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out three.

    The Tampa Bay bats took it to Brown early and often Saturday, tagging the hurler for at least one run in each of the first four innings. It was perhaps the worst outing of 2026 for the 27-year-old right-hander, who surrendered season highs in both runs and hits while fanning a season-low three. Brown will try to get back on track his next time out in Texas, where he'll take a 3.68 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB over 29.1 innings.

  • Astros' Christian Roa: Gets minor-league deal with Houston

    The Astros signed Roa to a minor-league contract Friday and assigned him to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Roa elected to enter free agency after being designated for assignment by the Cubs on June 24. He'll catch on with the Astros' organization for the second time this season after inking a minor-league deal with the team in early January before being DFA'd in late April. All seven of Roa's major-league outings came out of Houston's bullpen, but he has spent the majority of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 9.39 ERA, 2.02 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 15.1 innings.

  • Astros' Joey Loperfido: Optioned to Triple-A

    Houston optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

    Both Loperfido and Jake Meyers have been sent down to Triple-A, moves that correspond with the Astros recalling Zach Dezenzo from Sugar Land and reinstating LaMonte Wade (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. With Loperfido no longer on the 26-man roster, that opens up more reps in the outfield for Wade, Dezenzo and Brice Matthews. Loperfido has a .647 OPS with one steal, 12 RBI and nine extra-base hits across 119 plate appearances in the majors this season.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Astros optioned Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

    Meyers was losing out on playing time to both Taylor Trammell and Brice Matthews, so Matthews will head to Triple-A, where he will serve in an everyday role in the outfield. He has a .580 OPS with one steal, three home runs and 11 RBI across 148 major-league plate appearances this season.

  • Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Back with Houston

    The Astros recalled Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

    The move corresponds with LaMonte Wade (hamstring) being reinstated from the 10-day injured list and both Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido being optioned to Sugar Land. Dezenzo has spent time both with the Astros and in the minors this season but has seen more runway in Triple-A, where he is slashing .264/.417/.363 with nine steals, two home runs and seven RBI over 115 plate appearances. Dezenzo could see a fair amount of reps in the outfield now that both Loperfido and Meyers are in the minors.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: Back from 10-day IL

    The Astros reinstated Wade (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Wade has fully recovered from the right hamstring strain that landed him on the 10-day IL in early June. He joined the Astros on June 4 after being released by the White Sox three days prior, and he could see some reps in the outfield after Houston optioned both Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land.

  • Astros' Spencer Arrighetti: Rebounds with quality start Friday

    Arrighetti did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Arrighetti opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a solo homer in the sixth, generating 10 whiffs on just 73 pitches before departing in a 1-1 tie. It was a much-needed effort for the 26-year-old, who posted a 9.00 ERA in June and entered Friday having surrendered 14 earned runs over his previous two starts. He'll carry a 3.81 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 79:38 K:BB across 78 innings overall into a challenging road matchup with the Nationals next week.
