There is a “strong possibility” Hurricane Harvey could impact the Houston Astros’ upcoming schedule, according to multiple reports.
The Astros could be facing a 19-game road trip if Major League Baseball moves two upcoming series because of the hurricane.
The Astros, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, could see their upcoming series against the Texas Rangers and the New York Mets moved to different locations.
For the Rangers’ series, which begins Tuesday, the series could be moved to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Mets series, meanwhile, would be moved back to New York and played at Citi Field.
All discussions are ongoing.
Moving both series would create 19 straight road games for #Astros. Team packed only for 3. A small concern amid much greater ones.

Strong possibility for #Rangers-#Astros series, per sources: The Trop in St. Pete. Astros’ next home series vs. #Mets could shift to NYC.
