Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Astros' Ethan Pecko: Strong in bulk relief
Pecko did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Pecko entered with one out in the third inning and delivered his best performance in five outings with the Astros. The 24-year-old threw only 44 of 75 pitches for strikes, but he's now yielded one earned run in consecutive outings. He owns a 4.30 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB across 23 major-league innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Royals next week.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Working through right ankle issue
Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters that Alvarez is not in the starting lineup against the Rays on Friday due to a right ankle injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
It's not clear when Alvarez tweaked his ankle, though it could be part of the reason why his production at the plate in September has taken a dip (7-for-33 across nine games). He'll take batting practice and do some work before Friday's game in the hope that he's available off the bench, and he could be back in the lineup for Saturday's contest. Jose Altuve will serve as Houston's designated hitter for the series opener in Tampa Bay.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Not in Friday's lineup
Alvarez is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Rays on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Alvarez is already up to a career-high 637 plate appearances on the season and has gone 7-for-33 (.212) with one home run, two RBI and 10 strikeouts in September. He'll get a rest day for Friday's series opener, with Jose Altuve serving as the designated hitter and Nick Allen drawing the start at second base.

Astros' Josh Hader: Locks down save No. 25
Hader struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Phillies.
Hader dispatched the Phillies with ease Thursday, landing six of his eight pitches for strikes. It was an encouraging bounce-back performance by the southpaw, who was scored upon in his last appearance Tuesday in Philadelphia for the first time since July 20. He has a shiny 0.87 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB over 41.1 innings, going a perfect 25-for-25 in save chances.

Astros' Cristian Javier: Five Ks in six sterling innings
Javier took a no-decision Thursday against Philadelphia, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.
Javier was dominant at times Thursday, beginning the day with four no-hit innings to flummox the Phillies. Houston continues to keep a close eye on the right-hander's workload, as he's thrown 90 pitches just once in 2026, but he's surrendered a single run in 79-pitch starts to open the month of September. He'll take a 5.50 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 55.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance at home against the Royals.

Astros' Miguel Ullola: Opening Friday
Ullola will serve as the Astros' opening pitcher during Friday's game against the Rays, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Ullola has allowed three earned runs in seven frames in the big leagues, and he's now been granted the opportunity to make his first career MLB start. The 24-year-old righty spent most of his minor-league career as a starter but transitioned to relief this season and hasn't worked more than two innings in an appearance since mid-May, so his outing Friday will likely be a brief one.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Exiting starting nine
Diaz is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.
Diaz was behind the dish for the first two games of the series, so he'll take a seat during Thursday's matinee. Christian Vazquez will catch for the Astros and is situated in the No. 9 slot in the batting order.

Astros' Isaac Paredes: Hot start to September
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 11-7 loss to Philadelphia.
Paredes is off to a quick start in September, hitting safely in all but one of his first eight games for the month. The third baseman has a pair of three-RBI efforts in his past four outings as well, recording at least one RBI in five of his last eight contests. Through 591 plate appearances, Paredes is slashing a healthy .260/.360/.427 with 19 homers, 25 doubles, 82 RBI and 59 runs scored.

Astros' Hunter Brown: Stumbles in no-decision
Brown took a no-decision against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out seven.
After Houston scored four runs in the third inning, the Phillies responded with four runs of their own against Brown in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander gave up his most runs since July 4 versus Tampa Bay, also breaking up a four-start streak with at least five innings and two runs or fewer allowed. He'll try to bounce back when he brings a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 100:46 K:BB over 92 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Royals.

Astros' Hayden Wesneski: Delivers quality start in fifth win
Wesneski (5-1) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on five hits over six innings in a 6-5 victory over the Phillies. He struck out three.
The right-hander carried a shutout into the sixth inning before fading, with a two-run homer by Trea Turner accounting for most of the damage off him, but Wesneski still held on for his fourth quality start of the year in his eighth trip to the mound. Since completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and making his season debut in late July, Wesneski has produced a 3.35 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB over 45.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road this weekend in Tampa Bay.
