After a plasma injection, Isaac Paredes will have to wait "a long period" before starting any type of exercises.

Paredes is in the middle of his second year of arbitration. He was acquired by Houston in the trade that sent outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs on Dec. 13, 2024. Before that, the Cubs acquired Paredes in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays on July 28, 2024.

Paredes sustained what Brown described as a “severe” right hamstring strain in a loss to the Seattle Mariners on July 19.
