4/13/25	Díaz's first career grand slam helps Houston Astros to 14-3 rout of Los Angeles Angels. Yainer Díaz hit his first career grand slam in a six-run fifth inning and the Houston Astros had a season-high scoring total in a 14-3 rout of the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Díaz, who entered the game with just one RBI this year, had three hits and drove in a career-high five runs in the victory. The Astros trailed by 1 with two outs and two on in the fifth when they tied it on an RBI single by Yordan Alvarez that rolled just out of reach of a diving Tim Anderson.

4/12/25	Houston Astros' Offense Does Something it Hasn't Done in Last Six Years of Team History. The Houston Astros finally found the offensive explosion they've been waiting for on Friday night, beating the Los Angeles Angels 14-3 at Daikin Park. With the win, the Astros are now 6-7 on the season while the Halos dropped to 8-5. Offseason acquisition Issac Paredes went 3-for-4 while Yordan Alvarez was 2-for-4. Christian Walker was 2-for-3 and Yainer Diaz broke out of his season-long slumber, going 3-for-5 with five RBIs. Source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/history/...

4/07/25	How Emerging Astros Starting Pitcher Could Be Future of Rotation. The Houston Astros are off to a bit of a slow start this year with some major offensive struggles. This winter, the Astros overhauled their team, resulting in plenty of concerns about how the team would be able to perform in 2025. Seeing Houston struggle is a bit strange considering the success that the team has had over the last decade. While the lineup might be struggling, players like Yordan Alvarez are going to turn it around sooner rather than later. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/how-emerging-as...
4/06/25	Astros score eight unanswered runs in comeback win over Twins. Yordan Alvarez got a pitch to his liking and the 6-foot-4, 240-pound designated hitter unleashed his might. It was a high fastball from Griffin Jax, right at the top of the zone, and it quickly disappeared into the second deck in right-center field. Alvarez’s ninth-inning home run completed Houston’s comeback. Once trailing by six runs, the Astros marched all the way back, using Alvarez’s home ...

3/30/25	Peña homers and Alvarez drives in go-ahead run as Astros pitching shuts down Mets in 2-1 win. Jeremy Peña homered and Yordan Alvarez got his first hit this season, a tiebreaking double in the sixth inning that lifted the Houston Astros to a 2-1 win over the New York Mets on Saturday night. Houston took two of three in a season-opening series between 2024 playoff teams. Spencer Arrighetti (1-0) allowed just one hit, a first-inning double to Juan Soto, and one run with five strikeouts in six innings. Astros closer Josh Hader walked Soto to start the ninth before retiring the next three batters for his second save, completing the one-hitter.

3/29/25	Astros take down Mets 2-1 to win first series of 2025 season. The Houston Astros kicked off their 2025 season with a three-game series against the New York Mets. In a low-scoring affair, the Astros held on for a 2-1 victory. The game's deciding run was scored in the sixth inning, when a double from Yordan Alvarez brought in Isaac Paredes to break the 1-1 tie.

2/18/25	Fearsome Designated Hitter Projected To Lead New-Look Houston Astros. If the new-look Houston Astros are going to continue their run of dominating the American League West, they are going to need a monstrous season from star designated hitter Yordan Alvarez. The losses of outfielder Kyle Tucker in a trade to the Chicago Cubs and third baseman Alex Bregman via his recent free agency signing with the Boston Red Sox have left this once dominant lineup severely depleted. The two remaining hitters that are certain to produce game-changing results are Alvarez and Jose Altuve, with the promising Yanier Diaz looking poised to join the league's elite at catcher.

Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Josue De Paula ranks No. 20 in the top 100 MLB prospects for 2025, according to ESPN's Kiley McDaniel. De Paula signed with the Dodgers for $400,000 in the 2022 international signing class. The right fielder made a strong debut in the Dominican Summer League. McDaniel compared De Paula to All-Star slugger Yordan Alvarez, who also hailed from the international market. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/news/dodgers-top-ou...
1/19/25	Houston Astros Boss Planning to Keep All-Star Slugger Fresh This Season. Yordan Alvarez is one of baseball's top hitters. In 2022 he played in 135 games and then 144 in 2021, which was his first full season. Keeping Alvarez on the field is critical, according to manager Joe Espada. It's why he told MLB.com that he's considering way to manage Alvarez's reps in the field in 2025. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/houston-astros-...
1/19/25	Seattle Mariners Top 10 Prospects For 2025 Fantasy Baseball. 1. OF Lazaro Montes \| 20 \| A+ \| 2026 At 6’4” 256 lbs with a picturesque swing from the left side, Montes invites visual comps to Yordan Alvarez and embraces them, incorporating regular video study and modeling his own game after the Houston slugger’s. In 116 games across two levels, he slashed .288/.397/.484 with 21 home runs, five stolen bases and 105 RBIs. I don’t mention RBIs much around here, but that’s almost a ribbie per game, which you don’t see a lot these days in the minors, especially among guys who take their walks (14.4 percent for Montes in 2024). All in all, I’ve been among the high rankers on Montes throughout his pro career, ranking him first on this list last season. He’s still ranked after Cole Young and Colt Emerson by a lot of outlets despite both of those guys having down seasons in 2024. That’s understandable given they were young for their levels, and Young had to hit in tough park at Double-A Arkansas, but if Montes produces power at 20 years old in that setting, he should earn the prospect shine elsewhere that he’s been getting here.

12/18/24	Astros Star Yordan Alvarez Just Outside Top 10 of MLB Best Players List. The Houston Astros find themselves in an interesting place after being knocked out of the playoffs before reaching the American League Championship Series for the first time in this stretch of sevent consecutive appearances. It also marked the first time in that same stretch that they missed out on making the World Series in consecutive seasons. While the state of the dynasty is in question moving forward for the club, what is not in question is just how great of a batter Yordan Alvarez is. The designated hitter has proven time and time again that he is one of the best in the sport at the plate, and Fangraphs' recent projections for 2025 ranks the slugger as the 11th-best player ahead of the campaign.

11/11/24	1 trade Astros must make during offseason. The Houston Astros won the American League West this season, clinching their seventh MLB postseason appearance in row. After a 10-19 start to 2024, Houston found its footing, eventually winning 88 games behind a monster year from Yordan Alvarez and three front-end quality starting pitchers. While the team started with veteran Jose Abreu at first, it quickly became clear that the 37-year-old was no longer up to the task. The Astros gave him a month to try and work out his mechanics, letting him figure things out at their training facility and in the minor leagues.

9/28/24	Astros' Yordan Alvarez gets big injury update before postseason. Aside from scouting a potential postseason opponent, the Houston Astros have no reason to emotionally invest in their last two 2024 regular season games against the Cleveland Guardians.

The All-Star slugger sustained a right knee contusion after sliding into second base in a game against the Los Angeles Angels last week, leaving his status for the opening round of the MLB playoffs in serious doubt.
