Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez stayed hot on Tuesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays. The slugger went 2-for-4 on the evening with a pair of runs and a three-run home run. The home run would be his second in as many games. Alvarez has been on fire over the past month, hitting .337 with seven homers and 21 RBI. Despite a slow start to the season, Alvarez is coming around and in a big way for an Astros offense that can certainly use it. Alvarez is one of the hottest hitters in the game right now and continues to be one of the best sluggers in the league that also will not hurt managers batting average. He should continue to be one of the best bats in the game moving forward.
Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez started July on the right note in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk. Alvarez added some insurance when he took a ninth-inning Zach Pop fastball just over the left-center wall. The 27-year-old has provided what fantasy managers were expecting when they drafted him as a high-end fantasy option, slashing .294/.372/.528 with 17 HR, 49 runs scored, 43 RBI, and four stolen bases in 352 plate appearances. The stolen bases are a bit of a surprise, but fantasy managers will take any they can get, as they were only expecting four-category production from Alvarez.
Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (personal) is serving as the DH and is batting third for the Astros on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Chris Flexen. Alvarez had to leave the team the last two days due to a family matter, but apparently he has it resolved and is now available again to plug back into all starting fantasy lineups. Not only is it a great matchup for Alvarez, he's hitting .286 in his career against Flexen in 14 at-bats with two home runs and five RBI for a 1.089 OPS. The 26-year-old All-Star slugger has been hot of late, too, going 19-for-52 (.365) with five home runs, five doubles, a triple, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored in 14 games in the month of June. The Cuban left-handed hitter is one of the most reliable hitters in the big leagues with a .290 average (79-for-272) on the season.
Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez went 3-for-4 in the batter's box on Saturday with two doubles and his 13th long ball of the campaign with two RBI. This was just another dominant performance by the 26-year-old superstar. He is currently holding a stellar .296/.369/.514 line with three stolen bases and 33 RBI. His underlying metrics are near perfect, with a 12.7% barrel rate, 93.2 mph average exit velocity, and 47.8% hard-hit rate, which place him significantly above the average hitter. Alvarez is a safe bet to finish in at least the top 10 among outfielders in points league and rotisserie scoring by the end of the summer and is always worth a look in DFS, no matter the matchup.
Houston Astros DH Yordan Alvarez turned in a big game in a 7-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer, a walk, two runs, and two RBI to help power Houston to the win. The veteran slugger is putting together another excellent season, hitting .287 with 12 doubles, 12 homers, 32 runs, 27 RBI, and three steals across 230 at-bats. Alvarez has been red-hot at the plate lately, batting .462 with three homers over his past seven games. He should be an everyday fixture in fantasy lineups.
