Astros announce unfortunate Isaac Paredes injury news
The next day, the Astros announced that Paredes was going on the ten-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. They also optioned Cesar Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land, and recalled Shay Whitcomb and selected Jon Singleton to take their places on the active roster.
With Singleton being selected to the 40-man roster, infielder Brendan Rodgers was moved to the 60-day injured list after he suffered a scary infield collision with a teammate.
Houston, after losing Paredes, is now down three of their best offensive sluggers. Paredes, Jeremy Pena, and Yordan Alvarez are all out and on the injured list.
Jacob Melton and Jake Meyers are also out, culminating in a large contingent of valuable pieces sitting out for extended amounts of time this season.
Paredes, this season, before getting hurt, was one of the team's best hitters. He was an All-Star replacement and had a .252 batting average with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs before landing on the injured list.

At 26 years old, Paredes was having one of his better seasons since debuting in 2020. But, for the time being, his season is cut short, as he looks to recover from his hamstring injury for the later stages of the MLB season.
All of the injuries the Astros are dealing with further make things challenging. They already had needs at the deadline, but these injuries are putting the team at risk. A lack of depth on the roster has forced the Astros to call up prospects and journeymen this season.
This latest injury is another setback in the Astros' season. They've lost seven of their last eight games and have come crashing back down to Earth after a strong June and start to July.
Paredes is out for at least the next ten games, but likely for more. It's been a rough stretch for the Astros as they look to stay afloat and fend off the Seattle Mariners, hot on their tail for the AL West division lead.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields carted off practice field with apparent leg injury
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was carted from the practice field Thursday morning with an apparent lower leg injury. Fields threw an incomplete pass to Jeremy Ruckert on his fifth play of team drills when he went down. The quarterback, in his first season with the Jets, sat on the grass for a few moments before getting up and limping to the sideline while helped by a trainer. It wasn't clear how the injury occurred in the Jets' second practice of training camp. The team had no immediate word on Fields' condition or the nature of the injury. Fields spent a few minutes in the injury tent on the sideline as trainers examined him before a cart came out to transport him into the facility. Fields sat in the passenger seat next to the driver in the cart and then got up under his own power before stepping inside to be further evaluated. First-year coach Aaron Glenn stopped the team period after Fields was hurt and the Jets ran special teams drills. Fields signed a two-year, $40 million contract as a free agent in March after playing last season in Pittsburgh and is expected to be New York's starter this season. Veteran Tyrod Taylor, in his second season with the Jets, is the backup and replaced Fields in team drills. New York also has Adrian Martinez, the 2024 United Football League MVP, and rookie Brady Cook on its roster, but neither has thrown a pass in an NFL game. If Fields is sidelined for a significant amount of time, the Jets could be in the market for an experienced quarterback. ___ AP NFL:

Jets QB Justin Fields carted off practice field with apparent leg injury, reports say
The New York Jets officially have their first injury scare of the summer, and it's a big one. Starting QB Justin Fields was carted to the locker room after limping off the field Thursday morning with an apparent lower leg injury during practice, according to multiple reports. What happened to Justin Fields? Fields reportedly pulled up during a play in team drills after an incompletion to tight end Jeremy Ruckert. After the throw, he sat on the ground momentarily before he limped off the field. Fields was being attended to by a trainer in the injury tent before he sat in the passenger seat of a cart and eventually walked into the facility. While the severity is still unknown, this could have massive implications if Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract in free agency this offseason, was to miss an extended period of time during training camp, preseason or worst-case scenario if it was something that sidelined him until the regular season or further into the future. Once Fields headed to the locker room, backup QB Tyrod Taylor took over first team snaps for the Jets.
