Alvarez is out of the lineup Friday against the Angels, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.
With lefty Hector Santiago on the mound for the Halos, the Orioles will flood the lineup with right-handed hitters. It's been a rough go for Alvarez so far with Baltimore, as he got off to a really slow start and has just three hits in his last 18 at-bats, with zero home runs and two RBI.
