The Astros are sending Yordan Alvarez for an MRI on his left ankle, manager Joe Espada said postgame (via Space City's Julia Morales). Houston's star slugger gingerly exited tonight's win over Texas in the first inning after hurting his ankle scoring a run. The club announced a few innings later that he was diagnosed with an ankle sprain. Chandler Rome of The Athletic observed that Alvarez was on crutches and in a walking boot in the clubhouse after the game.

Rams right guard Kevin Dotson and left guard Steve Avila will be week-to-week with ankle sprains, but have not been ruled out for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, head coach Sean McVay said Monday. Both guards left the Rams' season opener against the Houston Texans on Sunday with the injuries. Avila returned to the game after Dotson's injury. McVay said he and the team's medical staff will have more information later in the week and "a lot better idea of what their projected workload looks like and what their status will be."
