The Houston Astros (6-10) will look stop a seven-game losing streak this afternoon as they look to salvage the series finale in the final game of a 10-game road trip against the Seattle Mariners (7-9).

The Houston Astros injury depleted roster took another hit on Monday.

The Astros' slump deepens with their longest losing streak since 2013 as Houston struggles through a brutal early-season road trip.

Jeremy Pena provided an update on his injury status after he was pulled early from the Houston Astros loss to the Seattle Mariners.

The Houston Astros lost to the Seattle Mariners by a final score of 6-2 on Monday. The loss came after the team placed shortstop Jeremy Pena and starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai on the injured list before the game.

Josh Naylor has broken out of his season-long slump. The Mariners first baseman hit two homers in Monday's 6-2 win over the Houston Astros, helping Seattle to a rare four-game sweep of its division rival.

The Houston Astros have reached crisis mode in the pitching department.

Houston has now put five players on the injured list in a little more than a week, including three starting pitchers.

Ahead of the game, Astros manager Joe Espada spoke with reporters and explained the decision. Espada said Correa has not fully recovered from his recent illness and would receive the day off, indicating he likely will not be available off the bench, according to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle.
