In Game 1 lineup
Alvarez (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat second Tuesday in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Tigers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Alvarez missed the final week of the regular season with a right knee sprain, but he's progressed sufficiently enough to be included on the Astros' wild-card series roster and in their Game 1 lineup. The 27-year-old slashed .308/.392/.567 with 35 home runs in 147 games this season.

Will hit, run Monday to test knee
Alvarez (knee) will do some hitting and running Monday at Minute Maid Park to test out his potential availability for the wild-card series, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analyse
Astros manager Joe Espada had said Sunday that Alvarez was going to take batting practice Monday and now he's revealed that the slugger will do some running, too. How he feels during and after the workout will determine whether Alvarez will be part of the team's roster for the first round of the postseason. Alvarez has missed a little over a week of action with a right knee sprain.

Set for hitting work Monday
Alvarez (knee) is expected to take part in some hitting work with the Astros on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Alvarez has been working his way back from a right knee sprain that he suffered Sept. 22. The lefty bat still has some boxes to check according to manager Joe Espada, but Espada is more optimistic than he was earlier in the week that Alvarez will be able to contribute to Houston's postseason efforts. The Astros will begin their Wild Card series with the Tigers in Houston on Tuesday and it's unclear if Alvarez will be available.

May begin activity Sunday
Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Alvarez (knee) could resume baseball activities Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The Astros skipper didn't specify what exactly Alvarez will be doing or what the planned intensity of his drills will be, but the fact he's nearing a return to activity is a good sign that his sprained knee is trending in the right direction. Once the 27-year-old slugger is able to test out his knee, the team may have a better idea of whether he'll be ready for the start of the AL Wild Card Series.

Ruled out through weekend
Alvarez (knee) will not travel with the Astros to Cleveland for their series this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
And with that, Alvarez's regular season comes to a close. Manager Joe Espada noted that Alvarez's sprained right knee is feeling better, but the slugger has yet to resume baseball activities. He will stay back in Houston to rehab with the doctors and training staff, with the goal of returning in time for the ALDS.
