Yordan Alvarez sustained a scary injury when he crossed the home plate in the first inning of the Astros match against the Rangers in Houston.
The Astros later announced that Alvarez had a left single disease and Manager Joe Espada told reporters After the game, Alvarez would undergo an MRI exam on his left ankle on Tuesday.
The Astros outfitder had been at first when Carlos Correa hit a ball to the Infield and Rangers -Starter Jack Leiter committed a throw error, so that Alvarez could score from the first time.
While Alvarez came home, he seemed to slide on the board and rolled his ankle and sent him to the Astros Dugout.
Astros First Honkman Christian Walker had stepped into the circle on the deck and helped Alvarez to scrape himself after he had rolled his ankle.
A team trainer and espada quickly came out to check Alvarez and he was helped by the Dugout steps and the tunnel to the clubhouse.
Rookie Zach Cole came in the line -up for Alvarez.
The injury was the last blow to Alvarez, who had returned just on 26 August from a right-hand fracture that held him from the line-up for 100 games this season.
He had beaten in the 18 games since his return .369/.455/.569.
The injury to Alvarez could not have been for the Astros at a worst time, because they follow the already west behind the Mariners through one match and stick to an advantage of two games in the already wild card compared to the Rangers.
The Astros are confronted with the Rangers and Mariners during their next six games while the season is coming to an end.
