Yordan Alvarez Nearing Rehab Assignment
1 year agoHouston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (oblique) has been making solid progress over the last week or so. Over the weekend, Alvarez has been able to take batting practice prior to game action. The 26-year-old is planning to be on a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, according to Astros general manager Dana Brown. He also mentioned that right-hander Jose Urquidy (shoulder) will join Alvarez on his rehab assignment. It's also worth noting that Brown mentioned Jose Altuve is about a week behind both Alvarez and Urquidy, but is healing quickly.
