To open a season-defining road trip, the Astros played their most complete game of September with a 7-0 win against the Seattle Mariners. Concern is still mounting, though, after Cristian Javier, Daulton Varsho, Brice Matthews and Jeremy Peña all had injury scares. Tyler Stafford and The Athletic's Chandler Rome discuss how the team can overcome the injuries and what it may do next to bolster its roster before giving some love to Isaac Paredes, who is on pace for a career year.
