Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes has opted to forgo season-ending surgery on his strained right hamstring and instead will rehab the injury in an effort to return this season, general manager Dana Brown told reporters Monday. His rehab stint, which will mostly take place in Houston around the team, will begin after a "long period" of letting the hamstring rest before beginning any sort of exercise, Brown said. If Paredes undergoes surgery, he likely wouldn't be able to return for at least six months. "His whole opinion on this is, he wants to work hard to try to get back this season," Brown said Monday. "He's doing well and he's working hard," Astros manager Joe Espada said of Paredes.
