Catastrophic floods in Houston caused by Harvey creating uncertainty for Astros

Related Topics: The Independent

The Astros on Sunday concluded a road series against the Angels and prepared to return home for a home set against the Rangers. That series is scheduled to begin on Tuesday.

Those plans are of course compromised by the tragic situation unfolding back in Houston. Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas late on Friday night and has since been dumping tremendous amounts of rain on the Houston area. That, in turn, has led to catastrophic flooding in Houston and environs. While obviously there are far more important considerations than baseball, the Astros aren't yet certain how they'll handle the upcoming six-game homestand.
