Isaac Paredes Opts for Rehab on Hamstring, Aims for Season Return with Astros

Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes has chosen to rehabilitate his severe right hamstring strain, sustained on July 19, rather than undergo season-ending surgery. General Manager Dana Brown confirmed Paredes received a platelet-rich plasma injection and will focus on returning to the lineup this season. The 26-year-old, who was hitting .259 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs, will begin a long period of rest before starting exercises in Houston, with hopes of playing again before the season concludes.
