Yordan Alvarez Resting On Tuesday
5 months agoHouston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine rest day for Alvarez. The 26-year-old slugger has mashed 14 home runs with an outstanding .873 OPS through 71 games. Yainer Diaz will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus right-hander Jonathan Cannon on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch. UPDATE: Alvarez is dealing with a family matter, and manager Joe Espada said he could return as soon as Wednesday.
