Houston Astros heavy-hitter Yordan Alvarez is still dealing with soreness in his left hand. The 25-year-old will take a few days off just as the Astros are beginning their first full workouts this spring due to a hand injury from last season which still continues to be a problem.Alvarez told reporters through a team interpreter:"It did flare up a little bit in the offseason. I felt a little bit of discomfort, but it's something we're going to work on. I'm going to take the next couple of days off here, like I did in the offseason to prepare, but it's not something that's going to be an issue during the season."Chandler Rome@Chandler_RomeYordan Alvarez said he has some left hand soreness and is currently not swinging a bat.

Yordan Alvarez has said that he has no idea how or when an injury may have occurred. He explained to reporters that the best treatment at this point is just to shut down and let the soreness subside."The easy solution for that is just rest. We decided it was better to lose a couple of days of hitting right now rather than the season."Houston Astros fans are notably concerned about the physical condition of their outfielder/designated hitter. Alvarez finished third in the American League MVP voting behind Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani after hitting .306 with a 1.019 OPS, 37 home runs and 97 RBI in 2022.Bonda@BenOndaTopPrayers for the hamate twitter.com/chandler_rome/…Chandler Rome@Chandler_RomeYordan Alvarez said he has some left hand soreness and is currently not swinging a bat.
