Astros News
The Houston Astros, now sitting at 47-51, are struggling to find footing after a narrow loss to the Texas Rangers, highlighting a concerning trend as their pitching staff leaks runs at an alarming rate of 5.6 runs allowed per game over the last week. The team’s recent roster moves are further complicated by the news of Mike Burrows landing on the injured list with right elbow neuritis, a blow for a rotation already in need of stability. Meanwhile, the discussion around Josh Hader's contract raises eyebrows, while his performance has exceeded expectations, questions linger about whether paying the price for that production was wise. As the trade deadline approaches, the Astros must weigh their options carefully, balancing the needs of the current squad with the potential for impactful transactions to reignite their playoff aspirations.
