The Houston Astros have been hit with some of the worst injury luck in baseball in 2025. And just when it seemed like they might finally get healthy, the bad news kept piling up.
Yordan Alvarez, the centerpiece of their lineup and one of the game’s most feared hitters, is sidelined with a serious ankle injury that has no clear timetable for return. His absence couldn’t come at a worse time for Houston, with the season winding down and the AL West title seemingly on the line.
Alvarez’s injury is just the latest in a staggering run of significant injuries for Houston.
