Yordan Alvarez

HOU • DH • #

Astros General Manager Dana Brown said Yordan Alvarez (hand) is experiencing a “Day-to-day thing, he feels a lot better.”

Brown also said that Alvarez “is not taking swings right now.” It’s unclear how the 27-year-old is “day-to-day” but also hasn’t begun swinging, but perhaps he’ll pick up a bat any day now. Until he does, we have no idea what his true timeline for return will be.

Transaction

Brewers traded C Wes Clark to the Astros for cash considerations.

Clarke, 25, has forged a .710 OPS with six homers over 148 at-bats with Triple-A Nashville. He provides Houston with some depth behind the plate.

Injury

about 8 hours ago

Astros general manager Dana Brown said that Zach Dezenzo (hand) is pain free.

While that’s certainly good news, Brown didn’t give any indication of what that means for Dezenzo’s timeline, and we’ve seen Houston downplay a few injuries over the last two years that have lingered. The 25-year-old would likely require a short rehab assignment once he’s healthy enough, but it’s unclear if his .245/.321/.367 slash line is good enough to keep him on the MLB roster.

Pirates placed OF Bryan Reynolds on the paternity list.

Technically, Reynolds is already out on paternity leave after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers after his wife went into labor with their third child. The 30-year-old outfielder will be away from the club for a couple days with Billy Cook coming up from Triple-A to take his spot on Pittsburgh’s roster.

Giancarlo Stanton

Giancarlo Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s tilt against the Angels.

Stanton, 35, will get a break after playing in his first two games back as the designated hitter. The Yankees will likely give the outfielder some maintenance days throughout the 2025 campaign. He’ll take a seat with Jasson Dominguez operating as the DH and hitting eighth.

Ben Rice

Ben Rice is catching while hitting fifth against the Angels on Wednesday.

Rice will make his first as a catcher in the majors. Assuming this doesn’t become a disaster, there’s a good chance the 26-year-old will get a few more starts behind the plate, and it not only helps his fantasy stock for 2025, but would be a big booster for the 2026 prospectus as well. Austin Wells is getting Wednesday off with Rice behind the plate.
