Yordan Alvarez Out With Neck Discomfort
2 years agoUpdating a previous post, Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is out of Monday's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays due to neck discomfort. The Astros have sent him back to Houston to be examined, and it's unclear if he'll need a stint on the injured list or if he'll be available during the current series in Tampa. Manager Dusty Baker said the 25-year-old left-handed slugger has been dealing with a neck issue for the last week, so fantasy managers need to prepare for a possible trip to the IL. Corey Julks and David Hensley would both see more playing time if Alvarez is forced to miss extended time. Keep him stashed in all leagues in the meantime. Alvarez is currently hitting .253 (19-for-75) with three doubles, six home runs, 27 RBI and 14 runs scored in his first 20 games.
