| Houston Astros DH Yordan Alvarez will be activated from the injured list for Tuesday's game vs. the Colorado Rockies, per manager Dusty Baker. Jon Mathisen Tue, Apr 20th | Yankees' first baseman Luke Voit (knee) was cleared to begin light baseball activities. Brad Camara Tue, Apr 13th | |
| Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports Yordan Alvarez and Alex Bregman, among others, are tentatively expected to rejoin the Astros on Tuesday in Colorado. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Mon, Apr 19th | Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed Luke Voit's injury on Saturday, saying that the first baseman's knee injury would likely require a return window of four to six weeks. Andersen Pickard Sat, Apr 3rd | |
| The Astros placed Yordan Alvarez on the injured list for unknown reasons. Corbin Young Wed, Apr 14th | The Yankees placed 1B Luke Voit (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Wed, Mar 31st | |
| Friday was not a good day for Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez. The 23-year-old went hitless through four at-bats, striking out every time. Andersen Pickard Sat, Apr 10th | Luke Voit confirmed that he underwent surgery Monday to repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee. Brad Camara Wed, Mar 31st | |
| Notes | ||
| Alvarez missed almost all of last season and had surgery on both of his knees, which is obviously worrisome for his 2021 outlook. His 2019 performance was incredibly impressive on every level (50 homers, 149 RBI in 143 games between the majors and minors), and he offers a high batting average floor to boot. It's all about health with Alvarez, so monitor his performance this spring. If he shows he's remotely healthy, his ADP is going to skyrocket. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | Voit suffered a partial meniscus tear in his knee this spring and is going to be precluded from participating in baseball activity for at least three weeks after surgery. It's almost certainly going to take Voit at least a couple of weeks after returning to baseball activity to return to game action, meaning you should bank on him being out until May 15th or so. When healthy, he's going to produce, however. He has always had a ton of power but last year he left the yard at a ridiculous pace last year, with a 34.9% HR/FB rate, third best in the league. The thing is, nothing about his profile really changed all that much. Indeed, his hard hit rate, barrel percentage, and average exit velocity actually were career lows. The biggest difference was that Voit simply swung more than ever, 52.1% of the time, and correspondingly made more contact, at a 73.8% rate, and actually struck out less than ever before. If Voit keeps the same approach, there's every reason to expect him to put up massive power numbers when he's healthy. That's always been his bugaboo, of course, and since he is already dealing with a significant injury, you can't draft him as a starting first baseman in mixed leagues at this point. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | |
| Voit is always hurt and was putting up Barry Bonds type power numbers in 2020. He is bound to regress and will likely deal with several IL stints. Honestly do not understand the ADP much. Michael Petropoulos - BRoto Fantasy | ||
