Houston Astros Rumors: Adding Encarnacion would elevate the offense

The Houston Astros had one of the MLB’s most powerful offenses just mere weeks ago. Unfortunately, some of their biggest power producers have been down for the count with various injuries that have forced the team to take a different offensive approach.

First, Jose Altuve‘s knee issues flared up again and the team has been taking it easy with him on his return. He’s almost been out a month. Then, George Springer tweaked his hamstring and has missed some time without ramping up activities yet. Finally, Carlos Correa had some sort of rib injury at home that’s forcing him to miss at least a month.
