Astros News

The Houston Astros' struggles continue as they face off against the New York Yankees tonight, sporting a dismal 10-17 record after being dismantled 12-4 in their last outing. Jose Altuve's early-season promise feels like a distant memory, as he grapples with concerning flaws at the plate that could jeopardize his season. Meanwhile, Bryan Abreu has emerged as a potential trade chip, but his own struggles highlight the precarious state of the roster. On the mound, Mike Burrows, with a 6.75 ERA, takes the hill against Yankees’ Ryan Weathers, who has been far more effective. With injuries piling up and a recent run differential of -11, the Astros need a spark fast, especially as fans grow restless amidst this cold stretch.
