Fantasy Impact:
Astros manager Dusty Baker hinted earlier on Wednesday that Alvarez could be done for the year, and the report of upcoming surgery confirms what we all feared. Alvarez dealt with a knee injury last season, as well, and only played in two games this season after beginning the year on the COVID-19 injured list.
