Yordan Alvarez made his long awaited return to the field on Tuesday night. The Houston Astros slugger, who's been on the injured list since the beginning of May, stepped onto the diamond at Whataburger Field for the first game of his rehab assignment with the Corpus Christi Hooks.
Alvarez had been plagued by a lingering hand injury, and after numerous setbacks, was finally able to swing the bat once again. He didn't disappoint in his first game back, going 2-for-4 with a double.
Alvarez is now expected to receive an off-day to recover on Wednesday before playing back-to-back on Thursday and Friday.
