According to a report from ESPN 97.5's Patrick Creighton, George Springer's thumb injury is worse than originally thought, and his availability for the Astros is now in question. With that in mind, Joel Blank takes a look at some players that the Astros could look to trade for to help replace Springer's offensive production while he's sidelined.
ESPN insider, DJ Bien-Aime shares his thoughts on the amount of injuries the Texans are dealing with and how that could prevent them from securing a victory over the Packers this weekend.
