[Kawahara] Yordan Alvarez is having an MRI on his right knee this afternoon. He had an X-ray yesterday that showed inflammation, Joe Espada said. Espada said Alvarez was sore this morning but the Astros were planning to get the MRI regardless.

  1. Yea I saw Espada explaining the nonsense and they’re holding out on announcing bad news regarding yordan

  2. I know he injured his knee on a slide.

    But can the Astros please just make Yordan the full time DH?

    Him being out on the field gives him more opportunities to injure those knees of his.

  3. Inflammation showing on an X-ray isn’t something you want to hear if you’re hoping to have Yordan available for the playoffs.

  4. I’m just gonna hope somethings a bit swollen and will be manageable with rest and a couple steroid shots. Maybe some prednisone or something.

  5. Depending on the severity, he may still be able to DH through a minor structural injury. I’d still take a hobbled Yordan over most in our lineup. Or heck even if he’s available as just a pinch hitter, that could be very valuable

  6. If something is seriously damaged he needs to see a specialist not associated with this abysmal medical staff because it’ll turn into a 2 year rehab process
