Alvarez remains shut down from hitting after receiving injections last week to address lingering pain in his right hand that is unrelated to the hand fracture he’s been recovering from. There should be a clearer return timetable from the Astros at some point after next week’s All-Star Game. It’s been a frustrating situation for fantasy managers.

It sounds like Gordon checked out fine after being struck in the head by a comebacker during Monday’s loss to the Guardians. The 26-year-old managed to remain in the contest following the incident and should avoid the injured list. It doesn’t seem like he’ll make another start before the All-Star break so it wound’t be shocking to see him optioned to Triple-A to bring in a fresh relief arm.

Meyers will sit out his second straight game on Tuesday night as he nurses a right calf issue. There’s no real reason for Houston to rush their starting center fielder back this week and risk the issue getting worse so they’ll continue rolling with Taylor Trammell in his place.

It sounds like Peña will be out through next week’s All-Star break — and miss the Midsummer Classic altogether — as he continues to recover from a fractured rib. At this point it doesn’t seem like he’ll make it back to Houston’s lineup until later this month.

Keaschall was off to an excellent start in the majors before suffering a right forearm fracture that sent him to the injured list back in late April. The 22-year-old top prospect should be ready to kick off a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the coming days. He should make it back to Minnesota’s lineup by the end of July, if not sooner.

This was hinted at by Mets manager Carlos Mendoza over the weekend and has now come to fruition. With Starling Marte dealing with a knee injury, the Mets could choose to use Winker (oblique) right away as a designated hitter against right-handed pitching. While we don’t yet know what the corresponding move is, we do know that Ronny Mauricio will not be sent down to Triple-A, so that gives him more chances to carve out playing time in 2025.
