Yordan Alvarez Still Feels Pain When Swinging
Yordan Alvarez (hand) said that his hand is "getting better," but he still feels it when he swings. Alvarez said he played with his hand hurting for "a while," but it reached a point where "I had to stop because the hand started getting inflamed." The 27-year-old All-Star is on the 10-day injured list with a muscle strain in his right hand, and it's unclear when he might return to the lineup despite being eligible to return from the IL. The Astros want to make sure that he is completely beyond the issue before activating him, so fantasy managers must remain patient. Alvarez's slow start in 2025 -- .210/.306/.430 slash line with three homers in 29 games -- makes a lot more sense now that we know he's been dealing with this issue for a while. Fantasy managers can only stay patient and hope that Alvarez can turn things around whenever he returns.
