Astros manager Joe Espada said Yordan Alvarez will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday.

Houston Astros GM Dana Brown told the team's pregame radio show that Yordan Alvarez will play on Tuesday with Double-A Corpus Christi, be off Wednesday and then try to play back-to-back games in Corpus on Thursday and Friday.

Dana Brown said there is a possibility Yordan Alvarez could return to the Astros' lineup in the back-half of the series in Baltimore next weekend, but it sounded more like they were targeting the homestand.

Yordan Alvarez played in his first rehab game tonight for the Double-a Corpus Cristi Hooks:

He went 2-for-4, with a single, a double, a walk, and a stolen base.

Yordan Alvarez went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 runs and an RBI tonight for the Double A Corpus Christi Hooks in the second game of a rehab assignment.

Friday night Yordan Alvarez drew a walk in four plate appearances while playing seven innings in left field.

Alvarez is now 5-for-11 with three doubles, two walks, and a stolen base in three games with the Hooks as the Astros slugger rehabs a right-hand injury.

Astros manager Joe Espada said there is a strong possibility Yordan Alvarez joins the Astros for the home stand beginning Tuesday if he comes out of today’s game feeling good.
