Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters on Thursday that Yordan Álvarez has yet to resume hitting.
Manager Joe Espada said Thursday Yordan Álvarez still hasn't started hitting, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reported. Álvarez originally landed on the shelf May 3 due to inflammation in his right hand, but he was diagnosed with a fracture in late May while dealing with lingering discomfort. The fracture was labeled about 60 percent healed when discovered, and he won't return to hitting until it's fully healed. Álvarez's return timeline is likely to remain murky until he's able to ramp up his activities.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. did not get any hits on Thursday.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. did not secure any hits in Thursday's 9-5 victory over the Blue Jays, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. After achieving a .324 average (33 hits in 102 at-bats) in May, along with 4 home runs and 17 RBIs, Gurriel's performance has slightly declined in June, with a .276/.344/.414 slash line, 2 home runs, and 7 RBIs.
Jorge Soler was not included in the lineup on Thursday against the Yankees.
Jorge Soler has faced challenges throughout the season, with a batting line of .207/.280/.350, eight home runs, 26 RBIs, and a 30 percent strikeout rate. This back injury could provide a chance to put him on the injured list and allow him a short break.
Lázaro Montes hits his 15th home run of 2025.
Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lázaro Montes went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run on Wednesday for High-A Everett. This home run was his 15th of the season, leading the Northwest League, along with his five triples, 45 RBIs, and .540 slugging percentage. The Mariners' second-ranked prospect is currently hitting .259 with a .410 wOBA and 137 wRC+. Displaying some of the most impressive power in the minors and having played 115 games at High-A, the 20-year-old is expected to get an opportunity to showcase his skills at Double-A later this year.
