The Houston Astros will be without Yordan Alvarez for the foreseeable future after he was placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his right hand, but some could argue the Astros have been without Alvarez this whole season.

The Houston Astros are hoping slugger Yordan Álvarez "gets it right" with a brief IL stint due to hand inflammation, and Eric Samulski explains why we're not looking at a major fantasy move for anyone else on the roster.

All-Star slugger Yordan Alvarez has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right hand inflammation, the Houston Astros announced Monday. The move is retroactive to May 3, when Alvarez was scratched from the lineup before the Astros' 8-3 win over the host Chicago White Sox.
