Yordan Alvarez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez blasted a pair of three-run home runs in a 2-for-4 effort during Friday's 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks, giving him six RBI on the day. The 27-year-old is up to 32 home runs on the season and has driven in 79, along with 89 runs scored, and six stolen bases. It was the 3x All-Star's third multi-homer game in his last nine games and he's coming off a month in which he recorded a .382/.481/.697 slashline. Alvarez is hitting .310 now on the season with a .406 wOBA and 170 wRC+, making him one of the top options for fantasy again in 2024.

Houston Astros designated hitter/outfielder Yordan Alvarez continued to mash on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers in a 7-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. Alvarez is coming off a three-homer game on Wednesday and came into this one with a slash line of .382/.481/.697 in August. It's safe to say he's been on a heater at the dish. Although he has an oddly low amount of runs and RBI, he has provided what was expected of him in the AVG and home run departments. He should once again be one of the best four-category contributors in fantasy next year and might come with a nice discount given his lack of counting stats this year.

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez had a monster day at the dish in Wednesday afternoon's victory over the hosting Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Banks Park, collecting four hits and three homers in the win. Alvarez tormented the Phillies on Wednesday, first hitting an opposite field two-run home run in the fourth inning to cap off a five-run inning for the Astros. He then slugged his second home run of the game to extend the Astros' lead to 7-0 in the seventh frame. Finally, Alvarez dropped the hammer with his third homer of the game to center field, pushing the Astros' lead to 10-0 in the eighth. The 27-year-old slugging superstar is enjoying a prolific month of August, slashing .385/.489/.744 with eight long balls, four doubles, 15 runs scored, and 16 RBI through 78 at-bats.

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is back in left field and is hitting second on Monday for the series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler at Citizens Bank Park in a matchup of last year's World Series. Alvarez returns to the lineup after missing the last three games with neck discomfort. The 27-year-old's injury was never considered serious, as evidenced by the fact that he's back playing the outfield to begin the new week. Alvarez is a must-start in all fantasy lineups and is currently riding an 18-game on-base streak in which he has gone .364/.475/.652 with five home runs. The matchup against Wheeler isn't great, but Alvarez does have two hits in his only two career at-bats against him. The left-handed Cuban slugger is hitting over .300 for the year with 25 home runs and 67 RBI in 451 at-bats.

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) was out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Sunday, but there's a strong chance he'll play in Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, according to manager Joe Espada. Alvarez is hitting .306 with 25 home runs and 67 RBI this year and is riding an 18-game on-base streak, during which he's batting .364 with five home runs. He's also hitting .352 with 17 home runs and a 1.123 OPS on the road this season. Fantasy managers will want to check to see if the 27-year-old is back in Monday's lineup. If he is, even in a tough matchup against right-hander Zack Wheeler, Alvarez needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups. Alvarez has two hits in two career at-bats against Wheeler.
