Yordan Alvarez Swinging the Bat Well on Rehab Assignment
Yordan Alvarez (hand) went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, two runs scored and a strikeout in his latest minor-league rehab game on Thursday with Double-A Corpus Christi. Alvarez has now gone 5-for-8 with three doubles, a stolen base and a walk in his first two rehab games on the farm and could rejoin the major-league squad this weekend for a series in Baltimore against the Orioles. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger has been out since May with a hand injury. It's been frustrating for fantasy managers that have been holding Alvarez all year, but he could help make a difference down the stretch if he continues to swing the bat like he is right now. The three-time Cuban slugger was hitting just .210 (21-for-100) with three homers at the time of his injury, but that could have been the result of him playing through his hand injury.
