An injury-ravaged Astros season is down to its final stretch, with Houston having six games to try to extend its playoff streak to nine years.

Five of the six wild-card spots in the American and National Leagues are still up for grabs entering the final week of the MLB regular season.

When Cal Raleigh crushed his 57th home run of the year into the Astros' bullpen Saturday night to pass Ken Griffey Jr. for Seattle's single-season record, Houston's longtime bullpen catcher Javier Bracamonte scrambled to grab it.

However, moments before game time, the Astros made an adjustment with Zach Cole being inserted into the lineup and Mauricio Dubon taking over at shortstop. With concerns mounting over Pena’s status, the Astros announced on X, “Jeremy Pena has been removed from today’s lineup due to oblique soreness.”

With changes expected in the network's relationship with MLB, ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball likely will air its final game with Astros-Mariners.

The Houston Astros have a big decision to make this winter when it comes to Framber Valdez, making this year's playoffs even more important.
