The Houston Astros struck on a late-Wednesday night deal. As first reported by Jon Heyman of The New York Post, the Astros traded for Ramon Urias of the Baltimore Orioles, adding the third baseman in the wake of Isaac Paredes potentially missing the remainder of the season with his hamstring injury. Brian McTaggart of MLB.com later reported that minor league pitcher Twine Palmer was sent back to the Orioles in the deal.
