The Houston Astros had a heartbreaking end to the 2025 season, barely missing out on the final playoff spot in the American League. Fans are hoping for a better result in 2026, and with a reloaded roster, it could be their year to rocket back into the postseason. Find out what you need to know about the 2026 Houston Astros below!

Everything you need to know about the 2026 Houston Astros’ season

How did the Houston Astros do in 2025?

The Astros finished 2025 with a record of 87-75, but lost the tiebreaker to the Detroit Tigers for the final wild card slot in the playoffs. Injuries were a problem for the Astros all year long, though they did finally see starting pitcher Hunter Brown reach his final form as a true ace. They’ll aim higher than second place in the AL West this season.

Did the Houston Astros make any key offseason additions?

Yes, the Astros made an upside move for their rotation by adding starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai from Japan. New starter Mike Burrows, who was added via a three-team trade, also figures to bolster the rotation on the mound. Infielder Nick Allen was also traded to the Astros, and catcher Christian Vázquez has also signed with the team on a minor league deal.

What’s the outlook for the 2026 Houston Astros

With a potentially strong starting rotation, the Astros should be in the mix for the AL West title once again this year. If José Altuve and company can bring the offensive firepower they’re known for, the team has a chance to make some noise, but their margin for error is slimmer than other teams that truly loaded up this offseason.
