Yordan Alvarez Has Hand Strain, Could Return When Eligible
Yordan Alvarez (hand) has a muscle strain on the top of his right had that just needs some rest. Manager Joe Espada said the team hopes it won't be longer than the 10 days that Alvarez will need on the injured list. It's excellent news for both the Astros and Alvarez's fantasy managers, as he could be back in the big leagues by May 13. Since the Astros placed the 27-year-old All-Star on the IL, Jose Altuve has served as the DH once, with Yainer Diaz also getting a nod there. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Alvarez can turn things around at the plate, too, when he gets over his hand injury. The left-handed Cuban slugger has opened the 2025 season with a disappointing .210/.306/.340 slash line with three home runs, 18 RBI, seven runs scored and one stolen base in an even 100 at-bats.
