Astros’ Yordan Alvarez to begin rehab assignment Tuesday

Aug 17, 2025 | 6:11 PM

Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez will begin a rehab assignment for Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, manager Joe Espada said on Sunday.
Per Espada, Alvarez will play “a few games” and serve as the Hooks’ designated hitter Tuesday as he works his way back from a fractured right hand that has sidelined him for approximately 3 1/2 months.
The three-time All-Star returned to Houston on Sunday after completing rehab work at the club’s spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Alvarez, 28, is batting just .210 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 29 games this season. He last played in a game with the Astros on May 2.
He topped 30 homers in each of the previous four campaigns and owns a career slugging percentage of .573.
