Yordan Alvarez Set for Spring Debut, Returns to Astros Lineup

Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez is slated to make his spring debut Monday, starting at designated hitter and batting second against the Nationals. The Astros have eased Alvarez into action after he was limited to just 48 games last year due to hand and ankle injuries. When healthy, Alvarez consistently ranks among the best hitters in the game, making his return to the lineup a significant development for the team.
