Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Royals.

2d agoRotowire

Alvarez extended Houston's lead to 4-1 in the fifth inning with a 375-foot shot off Seth Lugo, his career-high 40th this season. Over his last six games, Alvarez has gone 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of homers and a 1.172 OPS. He'll have his sites set on the AL Triple-Crown down the stretch -- Alvarez leads the American League with a .311 average while he's second in home runs and RBI (99).

Alvarez went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer and two walks during Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Coming into this game with just three homers over his last 30 games, Alvarez clubbed his team-high 39th homer of the campaign Tuesday. Despite his recent struggles to produce the long ball, the 29-year-old has reached base safely in 11 of his last 12 games. This year, Alvarez is batting .310/.429/.594 with 39 homers and 98 RBI over 643 plate appearances.

Alvarez (ankle) is batting second as the designated hitter Sunday against the Rays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old slugger is rejoining the lineup for Sunday's series finale after sitting the past two contests due to a right ankle injury. Alvarez will look to shake off a slow start to September that has seen him post a .212/.350/.364 slash line with one homer through his first nine games of the month.

Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez will sit out a second consecutive game as he continues to recover from a right ankle injury. Yainer Diaz will serve as Houston's designated hitter while Alvarez sits Saturday, giving Christian Vazquez a start at catcher.

Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters that Alvarez is not in the starting lineup against the Rays on Friday due to a right ankle injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

1w agoRotowire

It's not clear when Alvarez tweaked his ankle, though it could be part of the reason why his production at the plate in September has taken a dip (7-for-33 across nine games). He'll take batting practice and do some work before Friday's game in the hope that he's available off the bench, and he could be back in the lineup for Saturday's contest. Jose Altuve will serve as Houston's designated hitter for the series opener in Tampa Bay.
