Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez has a strained muscle at the top of his right hand. It's a diagnosis that instills optimism he won’t have a prolonged stay on the injured list.

After dealing with hand issues last weekend, Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez subsequently landed on the 10-day IL. Fortunately for Houston supporters, Alvarez was informed on Wednesday that the recent MRI on his hand showed a strain—and nothing more serious.

With Yordan Alvarez currently on the IL, Astros manager Joe Espada speaks on the hand injury and its possible severity.
