That's 12 seasons folks. Seattle had about 600 IL days missed. If we get back to health then I believe we are right back in the drivers seat next year.

I think it was the most injuries in a season in the history of baseball. Makes you wonder about strength and conditioning before injury and medical and rehab staff after injury.

List of 2025 Astros Injuries:

SP Spencer Arrighetti - Missed all but 7 starts
SP Ronel Blanco - Tommy John after 9 starts
SP Luis Garcia - Elbow injury after 2 starts (after missing most of season returning from TJ)
CL Josh Hader - Missed final 2 months
SP Lance McCullers Jr. - On and off IL after return from missing two seasons
RP Kaleb Ort - Missed final month, also some other time
RP John Rooney - Elbow surgery after 1 appearance
RP Bennett Sousa - Missed final 6 weeks
SP Brandon Walter - Tommy John after 9 starts
SP Hayden Wesneski - Tommy John after 6 starts

That’s just the pitchers…

IF Isaac Paredes - Missed 2 months with hamstring strain
SS Jeremy Peña - Missed ~35 games with broken rib+sore oblique
2B Brendan Rodgers - Missed final 3.5 months (various)
LF/DH Yordan Alvarez - Limited to 48 games (Hand, then ankle)
OF Zach Dezenzo - Missed final 4 months with hand injury
OF Chas McCormick - Missed 6 weeks with oblique strain
OF Jacob Melton - Missed 6 weeks with ankle sprain, had some back stuff early in season
OF Jake Meyers - Missed 2 months with calf injury
OF Taylor Trammell - Missed 4 months with calf injury, then missed some time after running into wall in August.

That should cover it.

J.P. France. Last SP to return after missing all of season (can't remember how much of last year he missed). He threw 18 pitches in his first game back and looked decent but was unhittable in 3 or 4 innings against the Angles in the last series of the season. If Valdez leaves then France might be a much needed ace that is ready to step in. Javier, Brown, France, McCullers, Anderson, Gordon, Arrighetti. If the injury bug stays away then that's a solid corp to work with.
