Alvarez set to return to Houston lineup

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Houston Astros
NEWS: DH Yordan Alvarez is on track to be activated from the IL on Tuesday.
IMPACT: High 
BHQ SPIN: Alvarez has been out of the lineup since May 5 with a hand injury that eventually was diagnosed as a fracture. We’ve increased his projected PT to nearly full-time for the rest of the season, mostly at DH with some OF sprinkled in. This will negatively affect the projections of utility players Ramón Urías and Mauricio Dubón the most, as it means that Jose Altuve is likely to slot back into second base most nights (he had seen the bulk of his AB at DH recently). We expect Urías and Dubón to still see adequate time at multiple positions, both as starters and late-inning defensive replacements.
