Astros News
The Houston Astros are making clear their intent to buy as the trade deadline approaches, looking to bolster a squad that stands at 38-43 yet has shown signs of life with a 5-2 stretch. After edging the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1, with Joey Loperfido stealing the show again, the team’s momentum seems to be shifting positively. Mike Burrows delivered a stellar performance, showcasing his potential in the rotation after a brief stint in the bullpen. Meanwhile, Tatsuya Imai needs to adapt his strategy if he hopes to become the consistent arm the Astros need in their playoff push. Yordan Alvarez continues to rake, solidifying his place at the top of the Hitter Power Rankings, but the team will need more than just individual brilliance to climb back into contention.
