The Houston Astros are struggling with a four-game losing streak, including a recent sweep by the Colorado Rockies, marking their first such occurrence since 2012. As they prepare for a four-game series against the Seattle Mariners, who have the lowest team batting average (.184) and OPS (.581) in baseball, the Astros have made necessary roster changes due to injuries. Right-hander Hunter Brown is sidelined with a Grade 2 shoulder strain, while Ronel Blanco has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. J.P. France has been called up to replace Cristian Javier, who is dealing with shoulder tightness. France had an impressive stint in Triple-A Sugar Land, posting a 0.00 ERA in three games. Additionally, outfielder Taylor Trammell has been brought up to fill the spot of Jake Meyers, who is suffering from lower back tightness. Trammell had a solid performance in Triple-A, hitting .226 with a 1.003 OPS and two home runs in ten games. Both France and Trammell have prior experience with the Astros, and their contributions will be crucial as the team seeks to break its losing streak.
