Yordan Alvarez of Houston Astros Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Right Hand Inflammation

Yordan Alvarez is now on the 10-day injured list, affecting the Houston Astros' lineup. Alvarez has played 29 games this season with a batting average of .210 and 3 home runs. He was expected to play as the designated hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers on May 5, 2025, but will be out.

Jose Altuve may need to fill in for Alvarez in left field or as the designated hitter. Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker are also in positions where they might see more action due to Alvarez's absence. The Astros' depth chart shows several players who could adjust their roles while Alvarez recovers.
