Astros' Alvarez Advances in Hand Fracture Recovery

News summary

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez has resumed swinging a bat after missing time since early May due to a right-hand fracture. His rehab now includes hitting off a tee and in batting cages, with the team still undecided on whether a minor league assignment will be necessary before he rejoins the active roster. Alvarez's recovery is part of broader injury progress for the Astros, with several players, including pitchers recovering from surgery, making strides toward returning. Manager Joe Espada reported that Alvarez is feeling good and being closely monitored. Despite earlier offensive struggles and Alvarez's absence, Houston currently leads the AL West. The team and fans are optimistic that Alvarez's return will boost the Astros' postseason prospects following his dominant 2024 campaign.
