Astros’ Isaac Paredes Ditches Surgery for Mysterious Hamstring Rehab—Could This Change His Season?

“He’s dead set on hustling back this season,” Brown shared before the Astros’ latest series kicked off in Miami. Considering surgery would bench Paredes for at least half a year, the gamble on rehab seems like a calculated risk—especially with the Astros holding firm atop the AL West, eyes locked on the final stretch.

Manager Joe Espada’s confidence is clear: “He’s grinding hard, spirits high, and trust me, the guy wants to be out there. We’re all crossing our fingers.” The injury happened as Paredes sprinted to first on a single during that marathon 11-inning loss, with 26-year-old Paredes currently sitting on a .259 average, 19 homers, and 50 RBIs this season. Brown also mentioned they’re cautiously optimistic, drawing parallels to NFL athletes who bounced back fully from similar setbacks. There’s hope yet—because as Brown said, “You can come back from this, even if it’s a big blow.”
