Yordan Alvarez Returns to Astros Lineup Sunday After Ankle Injury

Yordan Alvarez is rejoining the Houston Astros' lineup Sunday, batting second as the designated hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 29-year-old slugger missed the past two contests due to a right ankle injury. Alvarez will look to shake off a quiet start to September, having posted a .212/.350/.364 slash line with one home run and a .350 on-base percentage through his first nine games of the month.
