Yordan Alvarez Done for Regular Season
The Houston Astros have officially ruled out designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (ankle) for the rest of the regular season as a result of a "significant" ankle sprain. Alvarez, who last played Sept. 15, could return for the postseason if the Astros overtake the Detroit Tigers for the last AL wild-card spot. The Astros are sitting a half-game back, and they'd likely be in a better position had Alvarez stayed healthy this season. Before succumbing to an ankle injury, the star slugger sat out from May 3 to Aug. 25 with a fractured right hand. He was in tremendous form during a brief 19-game return, going 24-for-65 (.369) with three homers, nine RBI, and 10 runs scored. Over 48 games and 199 plate appearances this year, Alvarez slashed .273/.367/.430 with six HRs, 27 RBI, and 17 runs.
