Could return early next week
General manager Dana Brown suggested Sunday that Alvarez (hand) could be activated from the 60-day injured list at some point during the upcoming weekend, though the 28-year-old is more likely to return when Houston begins a 10-game homestand Aug. 26, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Alvarez is slated to kick off a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, marking the slugger's first game action since he landed on the IL on May 5 due to what was later revealed to be a small fracture in his right hand. Despite being shelved for more than three months, Alvarez isn't expected to require a lengthy rehab assignment. The Astros plan to have Alvarez serve as Corpus Christi's designated hitter Tuesday, take Wednesday off, and then return to the Double-A lineup to play back-to-back games Thursday and Friday. Alvarez will be reassessed after those three games, and while it's feasible that he could rejoin the Astros for the final contest or two of the weekend series in Baltimore, he's more likely to stay behind in Texas before making his return to the Houston lineup early next week. Though Alvarez's power output could be compromised a bit coming off the hand injury, his eventual addition should provide a lift to the Astros offense down the stretch.

Cleared for rehab assignment
Alvarez (hand) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Corpus Christi, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analyse
Alvarez took eight at-bats in live batting practice Saturday at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida without issue, and Houston was comfortable clearing him for his game action since he landed on the injured list May 5. Manager Joe Espada said that Alvarez will serve as Corpus Christi's designated hitter Tuesday, and the 28-year-old will likely need multiple games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate before being activated from the 60-day IL. Jose Altuve has been seeing most of the starts at DH for the Astros of late, but he would likely shift back to second base once Alvarez is ready to return.

Takes live at-bats Saturday
Alvarez (hand) took eight live at-bats in Florida on Saturday and will return to Houston on Sunday as the Astros determine his next steps, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Alvarez hasn't played in a game since May 3, so he'll likely require a minor-league rehab stint of some length before he's able to return to the Astros. With that said, his ability to swing against live pitching Saturday is a promising sign that he's moving past the fractured right hand that has cost him a significant chunk of the campaign. Alvarez could be back playing MLB games before the end of August, which would be a big boon for fantasy managers who have kept him rostered amid his lengthy absence.

Will take live BP this weekend
Alvarez (hand) will take live batting practice this weekend, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
It will be the first time Alvarez has faced live pitching since he suffered a setback with his fractured right hand more than a month ago. If things go well for Alvarez this weekend, he should be cleared for a rehab assignment soon thereafter. A return before the end of August is possible. Alvarez has been sidelined since early May.

Nearing live at-bats
Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Alvarez (hand) could advance to facing live pitching this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
The veteran slugger has been ramping up his hitting progression over the past couple weeks and is now on the cusp of facing live pitching for the first time since suffering a setback with his fractured right hand over a month ago. GM Dana Brown previously said the Astros were targeting mid-August for Alvarez's return, but he'll likely need at least another week or two beyond that since he's been on the shelf since early May.
