Comparatively, last season, he excelled with a .308 average, 35 homers, and 86 RBIs.
"Heâs just been sore for a couple of days," Espada said. "So I'm gonna give him a day just to see if he can feel better."
Alvarez is off to a slow start this season, batting .210 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 29 games.
