5 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (knee) was lifted from Thursday's game after the third inning with what was described as left knee discomfort. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout in the game before being replaced by Tony Kemp. The Astros were already down 6-0 in the game. Alvarez had fouled a ball off his knee earlier in the series, which could have first prompted the discomfort. Hopefully it was just precautionary in a game that was quickly getting out of hand. For Alvarez owners in daily leagues, make sure to check back to see if he's in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Mariners.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
