Alvarez is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Since April 16, Alvarez either has two or more hits or no hits in a game, watching his average jump from .167 to .208 over that span while picking up his first home run. Really only able to act as the designated hitter these days, Alvarez gives way to Nolan Reimold while Mark Trumbo slides over as the designated hitter.
