Yordan Alvarez Fantasy

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (undisclosed) hit a home run during an intrasquad scrimmage in Corpus Christi on Sunday. This comes just a day after Alvarez ripped two doubles in a contest. The 23-year-old missed all of summer camp and the team's first 15 games for an undisclosed reason, though he seems like he's getting his timing at the dish down quickly. Houston has not announced when he will return but judging by his performances in these games, it could be soon.

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez continues to make his path back toward the big league roster after getting a delayed start to 2020. On Sunday, he mashed a home run during an intrasquad game, just a day after collecting a pair of doubles. Manager Dusty Baker has reiterated that he isnt sure when Alvarez will arrive with the Major League club, but his bat appears to have the same thump in it that it did during 2019 when he won American League Rookie of the Year honors and produced a 172 OPS+. The success during intrasquad games indicates that Alvarezs arrival may not be far off.

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez has yet to make his 2020 debut as he works his way back at the teams alternate training site. While manager Dusty Baker stated that Alvarezs arrival was not immediate, his bat appears to be rounding into game form as he socked a pair of doubles during an intrasquad contest Saturday. Houston could use Alvarezs potent bat as the team flounders early on in the year. Alvarez will be a must-own commodity in every season-long format upon his activation after hammering the ball to the tune of a 1.067 OPS in his rookie campaign in 2019. Check back to continue getting updates on when Alvarez may arrive with the Astros.
