US EditionYordan Alvarez's Return Delayed by Newly Discovered Hand Fracture
- Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown announced that new imaging on May 30 revealed a small fracture in Yordan Alvarez's right hand.
- The fracture in Alvarez's fourth metacarpal was not detected in initial imaging on May 6 due to excessive inflammation and fluid obscuring the injury.
- Alvarez, who began feeling right-hand pain around May 3 and played for nearly two weeks through a muscle strain, has been out since landing on the injured list, with the fracture now about 60% healed.
- Brown said, "he'll be back sooner rather than later," adding via translator, "I wish I had a magic ball to tell you," and emphasized the need for rest as continuing swings delayed healing.
- The discovery suggests Alvarez's return timeline remains uncertain but likely imminent, as the injury appears to be healing well despite the setback from playing through initial pain.
