Summary
Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown announced that Yordan Alvarez is “60 percent healed” from a fracture in his right hand, which was revealed after he experienced discomfort following batting practice. Alvarez, who has been on the injured list since May 5 due to right hand inflammation, will be shut down, but the team is hopeful for a near-future return. The 27-year-old slugger struggled prior to his injury, posting a .210/.306/.340 batting line with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 29 games, while the Astros currently lead the American League West in his absence.
