Yordan Alvarez Takes A Day Off
2 years agoHouston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It looks like Alvarez is getting a normal day of rest in the series finale against the Pirates in a matinee affair. The 25-year-old left-handed slugger dealt with some left hand soreness in spring training, but it hasn't seemed to affect him early in the 2023 season. He's hitting .300 (12-for-40) with two doubles, three home runs, 16 RBI and eight runs scored in his first 11 games played. With Alvarez out on Wednesday, Corey Julks got the nod in left field and is hitting seventh in the batting order against Pirates left-hander Rich Hill. The 27-year-old Julks has eight hits in hist first 29 major-league at-bats and is still searching for his first home run.
