Houston's 2025 injuries have not slowed the Astros as they hold a two-game lead in the AL West, but the bullpen and lineup feel the shake. Alvarez is out over three months; Hader lands on the IL briefly, paving the way for Bryan Abreu to close, with Craig Kimbrel added for depth. Chicago Cubs DFA'd Ryan Pressly is noted as a contrast. Fantasy implications: expect closer volatility, shifting save chances, and opportunistic streaming as the depth is tested.
