Houston.- The image of Cuban Yordan Álvarez With a boot on the ankle he lit all alarms in Houston. Today, the Cuban has confirmed that he left this accessory behind and walks with determination through the Daikin Park halls, determined to show that the scare was left behind after twisting his foot when he scored last Monday against the Texas Rangers.
“It was something serious, but I am advancing well,” said Slugger, who understands the magnitude of the blow and the urgency of returning to a lineup that needs it while fighting to get a postseason ticket.
However, the player himself indicated that he will not be with the team for the start of the Tour of Por California, where the Astros will visit from Tuesday to Thursday the athletics in Sacramento before flying to Anaheim to measure themselves against Los Angels during the weekend.
Although Álvarez cannot accompany the team in the first exchange, and he must wait at least until September 26, he is advancing in his recovery but that does not take away how frustrating the season could have been.
“Well, since I arrive here to the stadium, I am not using it (the boot). I am walking and so far everything feels very well. We will see that when we get to that point,” Slugger continued. “No, no (I’m doing) any baseball activity. We are just trying to lower inflammation as much as possible.”
Álvarez in the last 19 games in which he participated, after being lost almost four months for a fracture in his right hand, hit .369 with three homers and nine driven, in addition to an OBP .462, being a fundamental piece for the stars.
In their absence from the ankle injury, the stars have a record of 3-2 and have given two games of difference to Seattle sailors in the fight for the flag of the division of the west of the American, at the same time that their setbacks have led them to fall to fight for the last wildfire.
Yordan is aware that this year he has not been able to help Houston as he expects every season, so the word frustration is something that goes through his head.
“Right now I just have to accept the fact that this is happening. It is obviously frustrating, but I will leave it in the hands of God and see what happens,” adds that of the Tunas.
