Houston Astro Slogger Yordon Alvarez has experienced a blow in his recovery with a broken right hand and will see a specialist.
Astro General Manager Dana Brown said Alverez felt pain when he arrived at the team’s spring training complex in West Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday, where he had a workout a day earlier. Alwarz also performed batting exercises at Dikin Park on Saturday.
He will be closed until he is evaluated by the specialist.
Brown said before the opener of the Tuesday night’s opener in Colorado, “This is a difficult time that is happening with Yordon, but I know he is still feeling pain and agony in his hand.” “We are not trying to push it or force him through anything. We are just going to allow him to heal and getting a little more answer to what steps we take further.”
Alvarez has been sidelined for about two months. The injury was initially diagnosed as a muscle stress, but when the alverages felt pain again in late May, imaging revealed a small fracture.
The 28 -year -old outfielder, who has hit 31 homers or more in each of the last four seasons, was soon loving a return to Los Angeles Dojers at the end of this week. Now it is uncertain when he will play.
Brown said, “We felt that he was close because he was feeling very late,” but it is definitely the news that we did not want. ,
In addition, on Tuesday, Astro officially placed the shortstop Jeremy Pena with a fragmented rib in the 10-day injured list and recalled the Infielder Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Chinese land.
