Astros Announce Isaac Paredes News After Leaving White Sox Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Houston Astros infielder Isaac Paredes has given his new club a good return on investment after it acquired him from the Chicago Cubs in December. The 26-year-old is slashing .254/.351/.468 with a team-high 15 homers and 42 RBI across 67 games after Thursday's 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.

The Astros shipped out star outfielder Kyle Tucker for Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski, and outfielder/infielder Cam Smith. Wesneski (1-3, 4.50 ERA) made six starts before getting placed on the 60-day IL with an elbow injury, and Smith is slashing .246/.322/.363 with three homers and 20 RBI.
Paredes has been the most productive of the three, but he exited Thursday's game early with an injury.

The veteran came up limping after sprinting to first base trying to beat out a grounder in the seventh inning. While he exited the field under his own power, utility man Mauricio Dubon replaced him at third base defensively.

Following the game, the Astros announced via manager Joe Espada that Paredes has a "left hamstring ailment" and the team will know more on Friday (via Chandler Rome of The Athletic).
Paredes played his first 57 MLB games with the Detroit Tigers before spending the next two-and-a-half seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays. The 5-foot-11-inch, 213-pounder slashed .455/.500/.545 in four playoff games for the latter club, but it dealt him to the Cubs during the 2024 campaign.
The Astros are in a transitional time, as long-tenured stars like Tucker, infielder Alex Bregman, and pitcher Justin Verlander are gone, while star outfielder Yordan Alvarez (hand) is slashing just .210/.306/.340 with three homers and 18 RBI through 29 games. The 27-year-old is on the 10-day IL.

Chisholm rallies Yankees to 4-2 win as New York takes 2 of 3 from Orioles
NEW YORK -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run double off the right-center field wall in a three-run eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Sunday. New York won its second straight after losing seven of its previous eight games. A day after the Orioles were held hitless for seven innings by Clarke Schmidt, Jackson Holliday singled on Will Warren's first pitch, setting up a two-run first that included Ryan O'Hearn's run-scoring single and Colton Cowser's RBI double. Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left after being knocked over in the second during a collision at the plate with Chisholm, who scored on DJ LeMahieu's single against Dean Kremer. Ben Rice singled off Bryan Baker (3-2) leading off the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton's single put runners at the corners. Chisholm doubled and is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from the injured list, raising his average to .242. New York boosted the lead when Gary Sánchez dropped shortstop Gunnar Henderson's throw on LeMahieu's grounder, allowing Chisholm to slide across the plate. Fernando Cruz (2-3) struck out the side in the eighth and has 50 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. Devin Williams pitched around a two-out single in the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. In a game that started at 11:39 a.m. to fulfill a Major League Baseball national television contract, Warren gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. New York had been 1-22 when trailing after seven innings. Baker fell behind Chisholm in the count 3-0, then left a fastball over the plate. Orioles: LHP Trevor Rogers (0-0, 3.12) starts Monday night's homestand opener against Texas and LHP Patrick Corbin (4-6, 3.91). Yankees: Rookie RHP Allan Winans makes his New York and season debut on Monday night at Cincinnati, which starts LHP Nick Lodolo (5-5, 3.71).

Georgia Predicted to Land Touted Playmaker Days Before Decision
Georgia Predicted to Land Touted Playmaker Days Before Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Georgia Bulldogs have three wide receivers committed in the 2026 recruiting class. Signs point to Georgia landing another commitment at the position this upcoming week. Advertisement On3's Jeremy Johnson wrote Thursday the Bulldogs are the favorites in the recruitment of four-star receiver Craig Dandridge. The coveted wideout will make his final college decision on June 26. "The four-star wide receiver has set a commitment date for June 26. The Bulldogs had Dandridge on campus in the first week of official visits," wrote Johnson. "The Bulldogs checked a lot of boxes for the Cambridge star. RPM favors the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have a 35.6 percent chance of landing the four-star wideout." Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart© Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Over the last few days, Georgia's percentages appear to have dropped in the On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine. As of June 22, the Bulldogs hold a 30.9% chance of landing a commitment from Dandridge. Advertisement But Georgia is still in the lead by a significant margin. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have the second-best odds in the RPM at 18.2%. The Oklahoma Sooners, Tennessee Volunteers and Stanford Cardinal round out the top five for Dandridge. The Clemson Tigers, Florida Gators and Vanderbilt Commodores are long shots. Landing Dandridge would be a significant recruiting win regardless, but it could be particularly key for the Bulldogs right now. Georgia's top 2026 receiver commit, Vance Spafford, may be wavering with his pledge. On3's Jake Rowe reported Friday that Spafford is "unlikely to sign with the Bulldogs" and could stay closer to home on the west coast. Advertisement The Bulldogs also have three-star receivers Brady Marchese and Ryan Mosley committed in the 2026 class. Dandridge is the No. 38 receiver and 26th-ranked Georgia prospect in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite rankings. The wideout is also the No. 237 overall recruit for 2026.
