Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Goes deep on Opening Day
Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.
Alvarez scored Houston's first run of the season in the seventh inning when he crossed the plate on a wild pitch after reaching base on a hit-by-pitch. The talented outfielder then slammed a solo homer in the ninth to bring the Astros to within a run, though the team ultimately came up short. Alvarez hit a combined 70 homers across 2021 and 2022, and he appears on his way to another big season despite playing in just two spring training games due to a left hand injury.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Will be rested early on
Astros general manager Dana Brown said Thursday that Alvarez will not be an everyday player at the beginning of the season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Alvarez is pain-free and in the lineup Opening Day, but his nagging left hand issue limited him to just two Grapefruit League games during spring training. The extra rest is likely more about easing the slugger back into action as a precaution. Alvarez is playing left field and batting third against the White Sox on Thursday.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Scheduled to play nine innings
Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters before Monday's exhibition against Triple-A Sugar Land, Michael Connor of Sports Talk 790 in Houston reports.
While Alvarez is scheduled to play the whole game, Baker cautions that might change because the team did not get back to Houston on Monday until after 3am. Whether he plays the full game or not, Alvarez looks like he's a full-go for the regular season which begins Thursday against the White Sox.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Hitless in spring debut
Alvarez went 0-for-3 in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
Alvarez took his first official at-bats of the exhibition season after dealing with a hand injury for much of camp, which was similar to the hand issues he played through last year. While he was hitless, he managed to make loud contact on a few balls that traveled deep to center field. Most importantly, Alvarez made it out of the game healthy and will turn his focus toward Opening Day.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: In LF for spring debut Thursday
Alvarez (hand) is in left field and batting leadoff for the Astros in Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus the Nationals, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
It will be the spring debut for Alvarez, who has been slowed by nagging soreness in his left hand. He's in the leadoff spot presumably in hopes that he can get in an extra plate appearance before calling it a day. Alvarez is working with a tight window to knock the rust off, but the expectation is that he'll be ready for Opening Day.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Poised for spring debut Thursday
Astros manager Dusty Baker said that Alvarez (hand) will make his Grapefruit League debut Thursday against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Alvarez has been out all spring while dealing with nagging soreness in his left hand, an issue similar to what he experienced in both hands at times during the 2022 season. The Astros seem to be taking extra precaution with Alvarez this spring, but fantasy managers still must have some level of concern about the slugger's ability to hold up all season. Alvarez will have a week to knock the rust off before Opening Day, but all signs point to him avoiding a stint on the injured list.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Could play next week
Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters Sunday that Alvarez (hand) could play in a Grapefruit League game next week, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Baker said that Alvarez is currently ahead of Michael Brantley (shoulder) in terms of getting into a game. The Astros have a day off Monday before playing six games in the Grapefruit League, and Baker believes that the slugger could get into action in the middle of that stretch. There are still some obstacles to climb, but there's a very good chance that Alvarez will be ready for the start of the regular season.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Taking on-field batting practice
Alvarez (hand) will take batting practice on the field Friday for the first time this spring, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Alvarez has been hitting in the batting cage without issue for several days and is ready to test his sore hand out on the field. Assuming things go well, he should be ready to play in games soon. There's been no indication from the Astros yet that Alvarez could be in danger of not being ready for Opening Day, but the window for the slugger to get ready is closing.
