Yordan Alvarez, Martin Maldonado Activated
3 years agoThe Houston Astros activated designated hitter Yordan Alvarez from the paternity list and catcher Martin Maldonado from the bereavement list on Monday. In corresponding moves, catcher Garrett Stubbs and relief pitchers Ralph Garza Jr. and Peter Solomon were optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land. Both Alvarez and Maldonado will be available on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. Alvarez needs to be returned to all starting lineups on Tuesday, as he's hitting .300/.370/.531 with 14 home runs and 51 RBI in 260 a-bats this year. Maldonado, on the other hand, isn't even really an option in two-catcher leagues with his .181/.269/.296 slash line in 199 at-bats. He'll share catching duties with Jason Castro moving forward.
