Yordan Alvarez has muscle strain at the top of his right hand. Astros hopeful he could return soon

Yordan Alvarez, a three-time All-Star slugger for the Houston Astros, was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Saturday with a muscle strain on the top of his right hand.
During the Astros’ final game in Milwaukee on Wednesday, it was announced that follow-up MRI results in Houston confirmed the hand strain injury is minor.
Espada said Alvarez did not seem himself lately, possibly due to hand pain, but expressed optimism that with rest, Alvarez could bat again when the Astros return home for a 17-game stretch starting Friday.
Through 29 games this season, Alvarez has compiled a.210 batting average, a.306 OBP, along with three home runs and 18 runs batted in, while his advanced metrics continue to indicate strong performance despite a slow start.
The injury diagnosis suggests a potentially short IL stay, and Alvarez's return could boost a Houston lineup that ranks low in runs and OPS compared to prior seasons.
