Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Could return Tuesday or Wednesday
Astros manager Dusty Baker said that Alvarez (oblique) is still being evaluated and could be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday or Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Houston general manager Dana Brown previously said late last week that Alvarez was expected to be activated Monday, but the organization has ultimately decided to wait one more day to make a roster move. Alvarez is back with the team in Houston and was spotted working out on the field Monday after he took part in three rehab games last week with Triple-A Sugar Land, going 3-for-9 with two walks and a double. The slugger, who has been sidelined since early June due to a right oblique strain, will have an opportunity to play a maximum of five games this week if the Astros activate him Tuesday.
