Paredes dealt with a serious hamstring strain in the middle of the season. He did return late in the regular season, but it doesn't appear he was fully healthy. Barring any setbacks, he has a chance to be a full-go by Opening Day.

Fantasy Impact

After being sidelined since July 20 with a right hamstring strain, Paredes has completed his hitting, running and defensive progressions without issue. He is expected to return to the Astros' lineup on Friday. With Carlos Correa having been acquired at the trade deadline and playing third base, Paredes will likely be used as the designated hitter.

Isaac Paredes is going through hitting, running and defensive progressions and is close to returning to the Houston Astros.

Paredes has been on the injured list since July 20 with a right hamstring strain. He has been recovering well and could return during the Astros' upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners, which begins on Friday. He may be eased into action by serving as the designated hitter before he is ready to play third base again.
