Yordan Alvarez, the Houston Astros slugger, has a hand injury that is confirmed to be a fracture in his fourth metacarpal, complicating his recovery. Initially misdiagnosed as a muscle strain, the injury is about 60% healed. General manager Dana Brown indicated the inflammation may have obscured the fracture in early imaging. Alvarez is advised to rest the injury completely, abstaining from batting while engaging in other baseball activities. Despite initial concerns, optimism remains for a quicker return due to the healing progress.
The immediate plan for him right now is to just let it rest...We don't even want him hitting off tees even though he feels good enough to hit off a tee.
Since Friday's imaging showed that the fracture was already more than halfway healed, Brown doesn't believe it will keep him out too much longer.
