The Houston Astros just began a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves on Friday night and their fans will certainly be holding their breath after slugger Yordan Alvarez exited early and didn’t return.
Thankfully though, it’s not an injury. Alvarez was feeling extremely ill on the field and ultimately went to the hospital for further examinations:

It’s unknown what the problem is at this point but the Astros will be thankful he’s not actually hurt.
