Yordan Alvarez takes live batting practice, 'really close' to Astros return

By SportsRadio 610May 30, 2025

Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez appears really close to returning to the Astros' lineup after missing nearly a month of action with a hand injury.

Alvarez took live batting practice Friday at Daikin Park, just one day after he and manager Joe Espada indicated he would be returning to the lineup soon without a rehab assignment.

The live batting practice, just like anytime Alvarez steps in the batter's box, was a must-see event.

In one instance, Alvarez crushed a homer into the right field seats, prompting Mauricio Dubón and Jose Altuve to get up as if they had seen enough.
