The Toronto Blue Jays have slowly but steadily been climbing the standings in the AL, recently reaching the .500 mark at 39-39 after a home win over the Houston Astros. The Blue Jays have largely had a disappointing season this year on the heels of last year’s trip to the World Series, but there is […] The post Blue Jays’ starting pitching trade deadline need comes with twist appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Astros SS Jeremy Pena left last night’s game with a cramp in his right hamstring.

If they’re competitive, it’s a brutal concession. Yet, those were the words that came out of Rafael Stone’s mouth as the 2025-26 NBA trade […]

The Rockets are reportedly open to listening to offers for their All-Stars Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun and only consider Amen Thompson to be untouchable.
Astros 2 Blue Jays 4 We really should have scored more. It is funny how that line just types itself at the top of recaps. But we are back at .500, and, amazingly, hold the third Wild Card spot. Dylan Cease had a nice night. 5.2 innings, 3 hits, 2 earned, 4 walks and 8 […]
Eighty games are officially in the books. The Astros have been victorious in 37 of them, after dropping the opening contest of their 7-game road trip in Toronto by a score of 4-2.

The Houston Astros have underperformed this season. That does not mean they are going to sell before the MLB trade deadline and rebuild, however.
