Air Yordan is back. The Astros today announced that outfielder/designated batter Jordan Alvarez has recovered from the 60-day wounded list. They had an open 40-man schedule spot because of right-handed Shawn Dubin Be designated for assignment earlier this week. The Astros Optioned Infielder Brice Matthews To Triple-A to open an active schedule.
The return of Alvarez is potentially a huge boost for the Astros along the piece, because he is one of the most powerful battle people in baseball when he is at his best. He came in this year with 164 home runs and a .298/.390/.583 Slash Line, which translates into a 166 WRC+.
He was not that guy in 2025. He hit .210/.306/.340 to 121 record performances before landing on the 15-day IL at the beginning of May. The club mentioned his injury as an inflammation of the right hand. Later that month it was thought that he was approaching a return, but then the club found a break in the ring finger of that right hand.
Setbacks with that hand problem prevented him from starting a rehabilitation assignment until a few days ago. He recently played in four Double-A matches and got 17 times on the board without home runs but a huge .467/.529/.733 Slash Line.
Those rehabilitation performance is clearly encouraging, but Alvarez will probably stay something of a wildcard until he comes back to the right track at the level of the big league. Getting Peak Alvarez back would of course be great for the Astros, but it is unclear whether that is possible. Houston tries to keep Seattle in the West, currently stick to a lead of 1.5 games, and will clearly welcome all the help it can get.
He is in tonight’s line and plays the left field, next to midfielder Jacob Melton and right field player Sánchez. Recently, Jose Altuve Has seen a lot of time in the designated Hitter slot and is back in tonight. It is possible that boys like Cam Smith” Chas McCormick And Mauricio Dubón Now see a little less playing time. However, Dubon can also play second and is at De Keystone tonight Ramón Urias Is there also a factor, as well as Altuve.
