Isaac Paredes was one of the key returns in the Kyle Tucker trade, and while he is on the injured list with a significant hamstring strain, he solidified himself as the future at third base this summer. Over 94 games, the 26-year-old hit .259 with an .829 OPS, a 128 OPS+, 19 home runs, 50 RBIs, and a 49:67 BB:K ratio.

The Houston Astros did not fully welcome back Alex Bregman to Daikin Park as the former homegrown third baseman and two-time World Series winner was showered with boos in his second plate appearance Monday night.
