Astros' Isaac Paredes: Continues to heat up with homer
Rotowire
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Yankees.
Paredes crossed the plate a season-high three times, also tallying a season-most three RBI. As long as the infielder continues to occupy a premium spot in Houston's lineup -- he's hit third in three straight games -- Paredes should continue to carry plenty of RBI upside. He's gone 9-for-27 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI over his past seven outings to raise his OPS to .711 for the year.
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Posts ninth career multi-homer game
Rotowire
Paredes went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in Monday's 9-2 win over the Guardians.
Paredes delivered his ninth career multi-homer game Monday for his first big flies of the season. The 27-year-old infielder has just three multi-hit efforts in 2026, and he's still searching for consistency in his power stroke. Over his first 79 trips to the plate, Paredes is slashing .221/.329/.368 with the aforementioned two long balls, four doubles and 16 RBI.
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Serving as DH vs. St. Louis
Rotowire
Paredes (leg) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth against the Cardinals on Saturday.
Paredes entered Friday's game in the fourth inning as a pinch hitter but was later removed due to a leg injury, though the issue doesn't appear to be a serious one as he's back in the lineup for Saturday's contest. He has struggled at the plate as of late, going 0-for-11 with four walks and three strikeouts over his last four games.

Astros' Isaac Paredes: Battling leg tightness
Rotowire
Paredes was removed from Friday's game against the Cardinals due to leg tightness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Paredes entered the game as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning but was later taken out of the game himself when his leg began to bother him in the eighth. If he ends up needing to sit out Saturday's contest as well, Nick Allen would presumably get the nod at shortstop.
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Reinstated from bereavement list
Rotowire
The Astros activated Paredes (personal) from the bereavement list Monday.
Paredes was away for the weekend series against the Athletics but is back in time for the start of the Astros' three-game series in Colorado. He's out of the lineup Monday, and given the Astros' glut of infielders, Paredes faces an uncertain playing-time outlook. The 27-year-old is sporting a .227/.346/.409 batting line and 2:6 BB:K across his first 26 plate appearances this season.

Astros' Isaac Paredes: Goes on bereavement list
Rotowire
The Astros placed Paredes on the bereavement list Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
By rule, Paredes will miss at least the entire three-game weekend series against the Athletics and as many as four additional contests after that. Paredes has started six of seven games this season, but with Jeremy Pena getting back up to speed following a finger injury, Paredes' playing time could dip a bit once he's back from the bereavement list.
Paredes is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Paredes started the first five games of the season across three different positions, and he'll hit the bench Tuesday after going 4-for-19 with two walks, three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored. Yordan Alvarez will serve as the designated hitter while Joey Loperfido receives a start in left field.
