Astros' Yordan Alvarez Returns from Fractured Hand After Long Absence

Houston slugger Yordan Alvarez has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list after recovering from a fractured right hand, an injury that kept him sidelined since May 3. Before his return, Alvarez completed four rehabilitation games with Double-A Corpus Christi, where he posted impressive stats, going 7 for 15 with four doubles, four RBIs, and a stolen base. His return is expected to significantly bolster the Astros as they approach the postseason, after he led the team in multiple offensive categories last season.
