Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Suffers Setback
- The Houston Astros’ star hitter Yordan Alvarez encountered a delay in his recovery from a fractured right hand while rehabbing in West Palm Beach, Florida, as of July 1, 2025.
- Alvarez was placed on the injured list in early May due to inflammation in his right hand, and subsequent imaging conducted almost a month later detected a minor break close to the bone connecting his wrist to the ring finger.
- Although Alvarez had been nearing a return after reporting hand soreness during batting practice, he felt pain again while hitting, leading the Astros to shut down his rehab and schedule a specialist visit.
- Astros general manager Dana Brown called the setback a "tough pill to swallow," said "it's too early to tell" if surgery is needed, and noted Alvarez "had felt so good of late."
- This latest development leaves Alvarez's season status uncertain while the Astros, leading the AL West by six games, also manage shortstop Jeremy Pena's fractured rib and roster changes.
