The Houston Astros are not having the perfect start to the 2026 season. They sit at the .500 mark and are trailing the Texas Rangers. Every team in the AL West seems to be struggling, but it’s too early to tell.

The Astros made a few changes in the offseason. One of their biggest signings was Tatsuya Imai. Making the playoffs is not going to be easy anymore for Houston. For now, they must focus on winning and hope that their injured players get back soon.

Houston Astros Injured Players & Return Timeline

The Astros’ pitching squad has taken the hardest hit this season. More precisely, injuries have filled their bullpen with relief pitchers on the injured list. Hunter Brown’s shoulder injury put them in a tough spot. Brown will likely return next month, but three of their pitchers should come back this month.
