Astros News
The Houston Astros are in a state of flux following last night's disappointing 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, which snapped their brief momentum after a series win against Pittsburgh earlier this week. With a season record of 28-35, the Astros are struggling to find consistent offensive production, prompting them to add veteran LaMonte Wade to the outfield in hopes of sparking a lackluster unit that features several players underperforming with sub-.700 OPS. Meanwhile, superstar Yordan Alvarez's bid for MVP could be jeopardized by injury, mirroring the plight of his closest rival. On a brighter note, ace Hunter Brown is inching closer to rejoining the rotation after a successful rehab start, which could provide a much-needed boost to a pitching staff that has faced its own challenges this season.
