Next up for the Astros starting on Tuesday is the Rockies, who have the worst record in the Major Leagues, followed by a showdown series with the Dodgers (Friday-Saturday) in Los Angeles. Houston general manager Dana Brown said on the team’s pregame radio show on Sunday that slugger Yordan Alvarez, who’s been out since early May with a broken hand, could return by the Dodgers series, though the following homestand is more likely.

Either way, the thought of the Astros starting to get healthy -- they also have four starting pitchers rehabbing in Florida -- should be a scary thought for the league considering how well Houston has performed despite being short-handed much of the season.
