Astros Put Yordan Alvarez on Injured List With Ankle Sprain
Yordan Alvarez (ankle) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left-ankle sprain, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The move is retroactive to Sept. 16. The good news is that the Astros are getting slugging third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) back from the IL. Alvarez suffered a significant ankle sprain this week when he slipped on home plate. The three-time All-Star will now miss the rest of the regular season and probably will not be ready for the start of the playoffs (if Houston qualifies) in early October. Alvarez is getting better, but he's been a slow healer and also missed a giant chunk of the 2025 season with a hand ailment. Despite his injuries, he's hit .273 (45-for-165) with six homers, 27 RBI, and 17 runs in only 48 games this season. The Astros need Alvarez's bat in their lineup if they want to make a deep postseason run.
