There's a good chance the Houston Astros get the news they have been searching for all season on Tuesday; that Yordan Alvarez is healthy enough to be activated

However, when Alvarez returns, it might create a bit of a roster crunch. The Astros will have to figure out what to do with both Alvarez and Jose Altuve, and there might not be enough room for both of the team's biggest stars.

Adding Alvarez back to their lineup would without a doubt be a positive for the team, especially from the left side of the batter's box, even though Alvarez had taken a step back in production, only smashing three home runs in the one month that he had played in for 2025.
