After losing three games in a row, including in back-to-back contests to the Boston Red Sox last week, the Astros got up and turned things around right away, as they are now on a five-game undefeated run. They scored the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-starter-kutter-crawford-slaps-boston-with-harsh-reality-after-getting-swept-by-astros" rel="noopener">perfect revenge</a> against the Red Sox by sweeping Boston at Fenway Park in a three-leg series that Houston <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/astros-vs-red-sox-prediction-odds-pick-how-to-watch-8-30-2023" rel="noopener">punctuated with a 7-4 win</a> Wednesday.</p><p>The successful trip to Boston gave Pressly the <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-win-fifth-straight-game-with-sweep-over-red-sox?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share" rel="noopener">perfect time to remind</a> the baseball world about why the Astros are still among the elites in the big leagues.</p><p>“We’ve been there and done that for a long time — the past seven years,” Pressly said after Houston clobbered the Red Sox (via Brian McTaggart of MLB.com). “I think this is kind of when we turn it on. This team, we’re built to win championships and to go deep in the playoffs. We know what it takes to get there and we’ve just got to string good innings and good at-bats together, and just keep doing what we’re doing right now and things will take off,” Pressly added.</p><p>Even with their recent string of victories, the Astros are still trailing the Seattle Mariners for the top spot in the American League West division, but only by the slimmest of margins. With the Astros heating up, it might just be a matter of time before they displace the Mariners, who are also quite on a roll themselves of late.</p><p>Up next for the Astros is a three-game series at home against Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees that begins on Friday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Houston picked up their fifth win in seven games since returning to action from the All-Star break, and turned to their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/i-owe-him-more-than-a-dinner-ryan-pressly-reacts-to-epic-catch-from-chas-mccormick-to-seal-astros-3-2-world-series-lead" rel="noopener">closer</a> Ryan Pressly to guide them to victory late in their 6-4 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night.</p><p>Pressly has been one of the best relievers in the majors since landing with the Astros back in 2018, but he’s only recently been given closing duties for them. In his third full season as the team’s closer, Pressly just picked up his 23rd save of the season, which also ended up being the 100th save of his career. Pressly has certainly enjoyed a star turn with Houston, but admitted that he <a href="https://twitter.com/matthewkawahara/status/1682737508025610240" rel="noopener">never expected</a> he would reach these heights in the majors.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ryan Pressly totaled one save in his first five seasons in the majors. Friday night, the Astros closer recorded his 100th in a regular-season game. “I never thought I’d get here, to be honest with you,” Pressly said. “So for me, it is special.”<a href="https://t.co/fmP7IDOwUO">https://t.co/fmP7IDOwUO</a></p><p>— Matt Kawahara (@matthewkawahara) <a href="https://twitter.com/matthewkawahara/status/1682737508025610240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 22, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>No matter what situation Ryan Pressly has been employed in during his time with Houston, he’s managed to be their most consistent arm out of the bullpen. After years of hard work, that ended up resulting in a closer gig for Pressly, and he has excelled during his time operating in that position with Houston.</p><p>As the Astros continue to work to reestablish themselves as one of the top World Series contenders this year, Pressly is going to remain extremely important for them. Having someone who can come in and lock things down in the ninth inning is crucial, and as Pressly has proved time and again, he is more than up for the task, which will be big for the ‘Stros as their season progresses.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 2022 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies has been an entertaining watch so far.

They needed big plays from their defense to hold, and they got exactly that from Chas McCormick.</p><p>During that ninth inning, Phillies catcher JT Realmuto hit a deep flyball towards center field off Astros close Ryan Pressly. The ball seemed all but destined to bounce off the wall, putting the tying run on base with one out.

They got a big boost to their pitching staff as they face their division rival in the form of Ryan Pressly.</p><p>The Astros reinstated Pressly, their closing pitcher, to the roster ahead of the home series. He was on the 15-day injured list due to <a href="https://twitter.com/JuliaMorales/status/1562914001603928065?s=20&amp;t=BZJsl4s7FohleRfbehL3bQ">neck spasms</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Astros have reinstated Ryan Pressly from the 15-day IL.

In 37.2 innings this season, he has a 3.11 ERA and 46 strikeouts. With a slider that occasionally touches 90 miles per hour and a solid fastball and curveball, he is a strong option out of the ‘pen.</p><p>The Astros are stacked in the pitching department with starters like Justin Verlander, Lance McCullers Jr., Cristian Javier, Framber Valdez and Jose Urquidy. Having guys out of the bullpen like Pressly and Ryne Stanek greatly helps, too. With Verlander currently dealing with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/i-dodged-a-bullet-here-astros-ace-justin-verlander-gets-brutally-honest-calf-injury/">calf injury</a>, Pressly’s return is very timely.</p><p>There are no concerns over the Astros losing their spot in the American League playoff picture and they have a strong, 11-game lead in the AL West. However, getting Ryan Pressly some innings before the postseason will be important. Houston is looking to reclaim a World Series win once again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They recently surpassed the New York Yankees for the best record in the American League, which would afford them home field advantage through the AL playoffs. But on Thursday, they were dealt a tough blow as news surfaced that Astros closer Ryan Pressly has been placed on the 15-day injured list with neck spasms.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ryan Pressly is headed to the IL with neck spasms. Seth Martinez is on his way.</p><p>— Julia Morales (@JuliaMorales) <a href="https://twitter.com/JuliaMorales/status/1562914001603928065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 25, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Astros are calling up Seth Martinez to take his spot on the roster.</p><p>What is particularly troubling is that Pressly has already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/astros-news-houston-gets-tough-blow-to-bullpen-with-ryan-pressly-injury/" rel="noopener">missed time earlier this year</a> with neck problems. Pressly missed three weeks from late April to early May. Upon his return, he immediately blew a save. After that though, the Astros closer would allow just two runs over his next 15 appearances.</p><p>Pressly is ninth in the major leagues with 25 saves this season. His ERA stands at 3.11, but that really doesn’t tell the story. Outside of a big blow up against the Yankees on June 23rd, he has allowed just four runs over 33 appearances. However, his last time he was seen in a game Pressly struggling, barely holding on for a save against the Braves Sunday.</p><p>It was previously reported that the Astros were not concerned and he would not need an IL stint. That obviously did not end up being the case. In his place, Rafael Montero is most likely to receive save opportunities. Montero had been dominant most of the year, but recently has <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/32631/rafael-montero">also struggled.</a></p><p>So, it’s possible Dusty Baker uses a committee approach until Pressly returns. There is no timetable for that yet though.</p><p>Entering play Thursday, Houston is 3.5 games ahead of the Yankees.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
