Astros' general manager Dana Brown isn't in a hurry to make a nine-figure deal with his star third baseman as the end of the season approaches.

This is his third time with the big league squad and he’s hitting .304 with eight RBIs in 10 games.

The Astros began their final homestand of the regular season against the Angels on Thursday with two outfielders on the injured list. Chas McCormick played catch prior to the series opener with his fractured right hand but is still not swinging a bat.
