All signs point to Houston Astros slugger Yordan Álvarez returning from the injured list on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. Houston's roster has been missing one of its most important pieces since the beginning of May with a hand injury. However, the Astros have somehow staved off the competition and remain atop the AL West standings.
Álvarez began a rehab assignment with the Corpus Christi Hooks last week and has looked like the player Astros fans know and love. Though his numbers at the outset of the season were very un-Yordan-like, Álvarez was 7-for-15 (.467) with four doubles, four RBI, and two walks in four rehab appearances with the Astros' Double-A affiliate last week.
