Fantasy Impact:
Alvarez was scratched from Saturday’s lineup and held out again Sunday due to hand inflammation. While Astros manager Joe Espada said Alvarez is feeling better and doesn’t require imaging, the team opted to place him on the IL as a precaution. With Alvarez sidelined, Yanier Diaz and Victor Caratini are expected to share designated hitter duties. In a corresponding move, Cesar Salazar was recalled to fill the vacant roster spot.
