Isaac Paredes hit a two-run double in the eighth inning to propel the Houston Astros to a 9-7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday at Daikin Park, securing a split of their four-game series. Following a rough MLB debut by starter Tatsuya Imai and building on Saturday's six-run comeback, the versatile infielder—starting at three positions early in 2026—capitalized behind Yordan Alvarez, earning praise from manager Joe Espada.
Tatsuya Imai allowed six runs in four innings during his return to the majors on Tuesday night. Astros manager Joe Espada said afterward that the pitcher will take the mound again in his next scheduled start despite the poor outing.

Houston Astros right-hander Tatsuya Imai made his first rehab appearance Tuesday since landing on the injured list April 13 with arm fatigue. Pitching for Double-A Corpus Christi, he allowed five runs on six hits over two innings. Imai threw 59 pitches, with 31 for strikes, while striking out two and walking three.
Seibu Lions pitcher Tatsuya Imai, posted to MLB on November 19, 2025, expressed a desire to compete against the Los Angeles Dodgers rather than join them. The 27-year-old right-hander, fresh off a standout 2025 season, aims to test his skills against stars like Shohei Ohtani. Interest from teams including the New York Yankees highlights his appeal in the free agency market.

The San Francisco Giants are among teams pursuing Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai, who was recently posted by the Saitama Seibu Lions of NPB. Imai impressed with a 1.92 ERA over 163 innings last season and could slot in as a No. 3 starter for the Giants' rotation. MLB Network's Jon Morosi called Imai the 'perfect player' for San Francisco.
