Yordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his right hand, which forced him to miss two previous games against the Chicago White Sox. The decision is retroactive to Saturday, prior to a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Alvarez's performance this season has been subpar, batting .210 with three home runs in 29 games, contrasting sharply with his strong previous season. The Astros have called up César Salazar from Triple-A to replace him for the upcoming games.
