Smacks ninth homer Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the White Sox.
Impact Alvarez added an insurance run with his ninth-inning homer, his ninth long ball of the season. He's shown plenty of power of late, going deep in back-to-back games and five times in his last 15 starts. Unsurprisingly, he has an impressive .408 wOBA and 164 wRC+ to go along with 35 RBI across 32 games this season.

Moved to designated hitter Alvarez will be the designated hitter against the White Sox on Friday instead of playing in left, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact Alvarez is still hitting third, but rather than playing left field he'll be the designated hitter for a game that has been delayed due to inclement weather. Corey Julks moves from the DH position to left field in Alvarez's place.

Smacks seventh homer of year Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over Seattle.
Impact Alvarez's 408-foot long ball to center gave Houston a 3-0 lead in the third inning. The power hitter is now tied for third in the league with 30 RBI, and now has hits in eight of his last nine games. It's worth noting, however, that the 25-year-old's current batting average (.263) is significantly below his mark from last season (.306). With that being said, Alvarez still has plenty of time to get hot and recapture his previous form.

Returns to lineup Saturday Alvarez (neck) is back in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alvarez will serve as the Astros' designated hitter and bat third versus the Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler after missing nearly a full week of action because of neck tightness. He returns Saturday to a .900 OPS with six home runs and a whopping 27 RBI through 20 games.

Continues to make progress Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters that Alvarez (neck) is doing better and currently participating in pregame activities, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact When asked if Alvarez was available off the bench for Friday's game against the Phillies, Baker wouldn't say, claiming that the Phillies "might be listening." Alvarez is missing his fourth consecutive contest with the tightness in his neck, but it's obviously a positive sign that the slugger is participating in warmups. Assuming there are no trip ups, there's a good chance he's back in the lineup for Houston by the end of the weekend.

Out again Friday Alvarez (neck) is out of the lineup again Friday versus the Phillies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Alvarez hasn't appeared in a game since last Sunday due to a lingering neck injury, but the fact that the Astros have yet to place him on the IL suggests that there have been recent signs of progress. Rylan Bannon will serve as the DH and bat eighth Friday in the series opener of this World Series rematch with Philadelphia. Corey Julks is in left field and hitting sixth.

Not starting Wednesday Alvarez (neck) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Alvarez will wind up missing the Astros' entire three-game series in Tampa, as he remains in Houston while he continues to experience neck discomfort, which he had been playing through for nearly a week. According to Rome, manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday that Alvarez is feeling "about the same" as he did Tuesday, which doesn't inspire much confidence that he'll be ready to play coming out of Thursday's team off day. Baker noted that before a determination is made on whether Alvarez will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, the Astros' medical staff will re-evaluate the slugger when the team returns to Houston.

A stint on the injured list for Alvarez hasn't been ruled out, although there's also been no indication to this point that that's where it's headed. Corey Julks is in left field and David Hensley is at designated hitter Tuesday.
