Astros News

The Houston Astros are in full-blown crisis mode as injuries continue to plague their roster, most recently forcing Cristian Javier to the IL after just one inning due to shoulder pain. With a dismal 1-9 loss to the Rockies fresh in their minds, the team sits at 6-7, staring down a 2-5 record over the last week and a run differential of -10. The arrival of J.P. France is a desperate attempt to stabilize the rotation, but Mike Burrows' shaky performances are only amplifying concerns. Meanwhile, Jake Meyers joins the injury list as lower back tightness adds to the team's woes. At this point, Astros fans can only hope that the return of key contributors like Yordan Alvarez (.317) will reignite a cold offense and shift the season's momentum.
