Isaac Paredes Injury: Slated for live BP

Astros general manager Dana Brown said that Paredes (hamstring) will take live batting practice at the team's facility in Florida on Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Paredes is making good progress in his recovery from a torn right hamstring and will reach an important milestone by facing off against live pitching. The Astros are hoping to get Paredes back before the end of the regular season, but the third baseman will may require a minor-league rehab stint before being activated.
