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.

Yordan Alvarez experienced a setback in his recovery from a broken right hand and will see a specialist after feeling pain during workouts.

Yordan Alvarez has been shut down due to renewed hand soreness, according to general manager Dana Brown. He will see a specialist in the next 48 hours.

"He’s just been sore for a couple of days," Espada said. "So I'm gonna give him a day just to see if he can feel better."
