HOUSTON -- When the 2005 Astros got off to a disastrous 15-30 start despite having one of the most loaded rosters in the Major Leagues, manager Phil Garner wouldn’t entertain any thought of the team getting back into contention until they reached the .500 mark. That team hit .500 on

Slugger Yordan Alvarez, who leads the Major Leagues in OPS (1.078) and total bases (207) and leads the American League in homers (29), RBIs (67) and extra-base hits (45) through Saturday, was voted as the starter at designated

HOUSTON -- The chants of “M-V-P! M-V-P!” grew louder with every step slugger Yordan Alvarez made toward home plate in the ninth inning Saturday night. Alvarez had already homered and driven in four runs to help the Astros wipe out a five-run deficit, but everybody inside Daikin Park was thinking

HOUSTON -- By now, there’s little doubt that Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez is the favorite to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award, though there are still three months of baseball remaining and lots of variables could still be in play, including health.

We’re now just a week away from “go time” – the start of the 2026 MLB Draft. And yes, that means this is our penultimate mock (Man, I love that word). Jim Callis and I will provide one more final projection of the top 40 picks late on Friday, on

Roch Cholowsky entered 2026 as the strongest favorite to go first overall in the Draft at the outset of a year since Adley Rutschman in 2019. He's still the best all-around college shortstop since Troy Tulowitzki two decades ago, he led UCLA to a No. 1 ranking from the preseason

HOUSTON -- Before an 8-3 loss to the Twins on Wednesday night, the Astros announced that right-hander Cristian Javier, a mainstay in the Astros' rotation in 2022 and ‘23 before injuries disrupted his career, will be activated from the injured list prior to Friday’s series opener against the Rays at
