Mauricio Dubón - Back on bench Sunday Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Impact With Jeremy Pena (illness) checking back into the lineup for the series finale, Dubon's four-game run in the starting nine will come to an end. Houston moved designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) to the 10-day injured list Sunday, but Aledmys Diaz looks like the first man up to replace Alvarez in the everyday lineup.
JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aledmys Díaz - Could be main Alvarez replacement Diaz will serve as Houston's designated hitter and No. 6 hitter in Sunday's game in Oakland.
Impact Diaz will make his second straight start out of the DH spot and his sixth in a row overall after going 8-for-22 with two home runs, four doubles, four RBI and four runs over the previous five contests. With the Astros placing Yordan Alvarez (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Diaz looks like the top candidate to serve as Houston's primary DH in the final week before the All-Star break.

Yordan Alvarez - Heading to injured list The Astros placed Alvarez on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right hand inflammation.
Impact Alvarez missed some time with a right hand injury in mid-June and quickly returned to the lineup, but the issue has apparently worsened over the past few weeks. The 25-year-old's move to the IL on Sunday means he will be eligible to return coming out of the All-Star break July 21, though it remains to be seen if he's healthy enough to be reinstated at that point. Aledmys Diaz is the most likely candidate to see increased playing time during Alvarez's absence.

Impact Alvarez won't just miss Sunday's game, but also the next three games in Anaheim against the Angels. The Astros hope to have Alvarez back later in the week against the A's, but keep in mind that the All-Star break is immediately after that series, so there's a risk of him missing the entire week.

Yordan Alvarez - Receives maintenance day Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Oakland.
Impact Alvarez started the past eight games after missing two contests with a head injury, and he'll take Sunday off after posting a .964 OPS with three doubles, three home runs, four RBI and eight runs during that stretch. Aledmys Diaz will serve as Houston's designated hitter in the series finale.

Jeremy Peña - Ready to play Sunday Pena (illness) is starting at shortstop and batting second Sunday against the Athletics.
Impact The young shortstop sat out the past few days while in the league's health and safety protocols, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Pena has an .818 OPS with three home runs through seven games in July.

He will take a 2.64 ERA into his next outing.
