Yordan Alvarez to Make Spring Debut Next Week
Houston Astros designated hitter/outfielder Yordan Alvarez will make his Grapefruit League debut next week, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Alvarez is fully healthy this spring, but the Astros are easing him into game action after he was limited to only 48 games in 2025 due to injuries. The three-time All-Star is also expected to primarily serve as the DH for the Astros in 2026 as a way for the team to try to keep him healthy all year. Before ankle and hand injuries slowed him down last year, Alvarez had four straight 30-homer seasons as one of the best all-around hitters in the game. The left-handed Cuban slugger finished 2025 with a .273/.367/.430 slash line, .797 OPS, six home runs, 27 RBI, and 17 runs scored in his 165 at-bats. Alvarez's injuries last year have dropped his ADP in fantasy drafts, potentially making him a discount, but durability concerns are more of a concern than ever.
