2 years agoHouston Astros manager Dusty Baker said on Sports Talk 790 on Tuesday that outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is "about the same as yesterday," and the team is awaiting word from their doctors about what is next. Alvarez didn't play on Monday and was sent back to Houston to be checked out after first feeling neck discomfort a week ago. At this point, it's unlikely that Alvarez will play in the series against the Tampa Bay Rays, and there's a very real chance he'll need to go on the injured list. Fantasy managers should prepare for that possibility. With the 25-year-old slugger out on Monday, Corey Julks played left field and Yainer Diaz was the designated hitter. In 20 games so far this year, Alvarez has gone 19-for-75 (.253) with three doubles, six home runs and 27 RBI. Hopefully, he can avoid an IL stint.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
