Nacho Alvarez said Saturday that his left wrist is improving and he expects to get back into games within a couple of days, per team updates.

Fantasy Impact:

Alvarez tweaked that wrist swinging in Thursday’s first inning, but the 21-year-old infielder isn’t sweating it—sounds like a minor bump. He’s pushing for a bench role with Atlanta after tearing up Triple-A last year at .297/.398/.463 with 42 RBI and 10 steals over 64 games. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues might flag him as a sleeper—his bat and speed could shine if he sneaks onto the roster.
