After the stunning announcement that the Boston Red Sox were trading away star DH Rafael Devers, the Houston Astros may be able to negotiate a deal to bolster their injury-plagued starting rotation.

The Athletics are coming off a sweep of the Kansas City Royals over the weekend, a feat they hadn’t achieved since they swept the Chicago White Sox in April. On the flip side, the Houston Astros, who swept the A’s in a quick two-game series at the end of May, are entering this series in […]

The Houston Astros have been dealing with a ton of injuries recently, allowing some highly-regarded prospects and journeymen the chance at consistent playing time. Outfielder Jacob Melton, the team’s top rated prospect, was going to be afforded the chance to show what he could do at the highest level with the chance to play virtually […]

The Houston Astros have starting pitching depth problems and they’re unlikely to get much better anytime soon. Houston has six pitchers on the 60-day injured list.

The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to be very active at the trade deadline, whether it be as buyers or sellers.

It didn’t seem like this would be the case a couple of months ago, but the Houston Astros now find themselves in the familiar territory of looking around at potential acquirable assets before the trade deadline. With a 40-30 record entering Sunday that is even more remarkable when considering all the injuries they have suffered, […]

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton was scratched from Sunday’s lineup a day after being hit on the left elbow by a pitch. Buxton left Saturday’s game against the Houston Astros with a bruised elbow after Hunter Brown’s throw in the sixth inning of a 3-2 Twins loss. Manager Rocco Baldelli said after the game […]
