The Houston Astros didn't get necessarily hear what they wanted to hear after their superstar gave an update on how he's feeling following getting hit by a pitch.
Their starting rotation was getting shelled, the offense wasn't quite as potent, and their star players were not having the same output consistently like they normally do.
Many of those issues, however, can be attributed to injuries, and it's no coincidence that even after they lost two starters to season-ending surgeries, placed Justin Verlander on the IL, and are still without Kyle Tucker, the lack of roster turnover has helped this group. So much so that the Astros find themselves right back into the playoff mix when it looked like the best thing for them to do was actually become sellers ahead of the deadline.when Jose Altuve had to leave Friday's game early after getting hit by a pitch on his hand. Anytime that area is hit with a baseball, it could spell trouble. And even though he didn't appear in Saturday's contest, it sounds like he eluded a considerable injury and should be back in the lineup soon.
But as Houston got good news regarding their franchise legend second baseman, it doesn't sound so positive for another one of their superstars.The Houston Chronicle he was hit in the same spot on that same knee a couple weeks ago and the swelling hadn't yet gone away.reported the slugger is "feeling sore," but manager Joe Espada said Alvarez will not undergo testing at this moment.More updates will certainly come, but the fact this wasn't immediately brushed aside is a little worrisome considering the time Alvarez has missed in the past.Brad Wakai graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Journalism.
