Astros’ Yordan Alvarez Faces Uncertain Future After Mysterious Hand Inflammation Lands Him on Injured List
As for Salazar, the 26-year-old catcher’s stepping up with a .197 average, .305 on-base, two homers, and seven RBIs in 21 games at Triple-A so far. He’s no stranger to Houston’s big-league roster either, having put up a .320 average and .387 OBP in 12 games last year — solid numbers, but can he fill Alvarez’s shoes? Time will tell.
The Astros are at a critical juncture this season, with the absence of a slugger like Alvarez forcing adjustments — on offense and morale. It’s that nagging tension we all dread as fans: can they hold their ground without their superstar? Whatever happens, I’ll be watching intently.
