The injuries continue to mount for the Houston Astros. The latest victim is third baseman Isaac Paredes, who has not played since July 20 with what was originally diagnosed as a hamstring strain, but is now expected to miss 6-7 months with a hamstring tear, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

The Astros received significant Jeremy Pena and Christian Javier injury updates ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Heading into the Astros series against the Washington Nationals on Monday, Houston was able to give an update on Jeremy Pena, who's been rehabbing a small rib fracture he sustained after getting hit by a pitch against the Chicago Cubs on June 27.
