Out of lineup Sunday
Paredes isn't starting Sunday versus Texas.
Analysis
Paredes has been a regular at third base for the Astros since Carlos Correa (ankle) was lost for the season, but he'll get at least a partial day off after going just 2-for-19 over his past five contests. Braden Shewmake is starting at the hot corner Sunday.

Launches solo homer
Paredes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Rangers.
Analysis
Paredes went yard for the first time since April 26. Paredes hasn't delivered eye-popping numbers in recent weeks, but he's been productive enough to remain relevant, aided by the fact that he hits near the top of the order on a regular basis. He's hitting .265 with a .756 OPS, a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a 6:11 BB:K in 14 games since the beginning of May.
