Yordan Alvarez's quiet bat can't spark Astros

Yordan Alvarez (LF,DH - HOU)

Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a walk in the Astros' 5-0 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact
Despite the multi-hit game, Alvarez's performance was not enough to ignite a struggling Houston lineup, which failed to score. This season, Alvarez is batting .256 with seven homers and 18 RBI through 33 games. His consistent power is a plus, but his overall production has been somewhat underwhelming given the high expectations surrounding him. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his ability to improve his batting average and on-base skills, which could significantly impact his value as the season progresses.
