Yordan Alvarez, Houston Astros, Day-to-Day Due to Right Hand Inflammation
Yordan Alvarez is uncertain to play for the Houston Astros due to right hand inflammation.
What It Means
Yordan Alvarez has played all 29 games this season, contributing with a .210 batting average. He has hit three home runs and collected 18 RBIs. Alvarez's absence could impact the Astros' lineup against the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field on May 4, 2025.
Jose Altuve and Yainer Diaz might see changes in their roles if Alvarez is unable to play. Altuve is listed as the starting left fielder, while Diaz is the backup designated hitter. Alvarez has struggled on the road with a .169 average but has hit all three of his home runs away from home.
