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

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (neck) is being kept out of the lineup for the second straight day due to neck discomfort. As a result, Mauricio Dubon will cover left field and bat in the nine-hole this afternoon. Before the injury, Alvarez was carrying an incredible .364/.475/.652 line with five long balls, 12 RBI, and a 12:10 BB:K ratio since the start of the month. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to the Houston starting nine prior to the series finale on Sunday evening. Dubon is riding a .233 AVG across his past nine games and should not be considered in DFS competitions this afternoon as he will face Baltimore right-hander Albert Suarez, who has tossed 17 2/3 straight scoreless frames with a strong 0.91 WHIP.

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Alex Bregman will serve as the DH and bat second, while Chas McCormick covers left field and bats ninth versus lefty Cade Povich. Bregman is a must-start in all formats while McCormick can be avoided. McCormick is batting .193 with four home runs and 22 RBI this season. There should be better streaming options available on Friday.
