The Astros finally got a roster break today. Young slugger Yordan Alvarez, righty Jose Urquidy, and southpaw Cionel Perez have all been cleared to resume training with the club, as Jake Kaplan of The Athletic was among those to cover on Twitter.
While they’re now able to get back to action, the trio will obviously not be ready to jump right onto the active roster. All will report to the team’s alternative training site to get back up to full speed.
It’s especially encouraging to see Alvarez, the reigning American League Rookie of the Year, returning to action. He had previously dealt with some knee issues, but the young slugger has now had ample rest.
The ’Stros will also be anxious to get Urquidy back. He emerged late last year as a key piece of the rotation. Perez has struggled with the long ball in his own MLB opportunities, but remains a potentially useful swingman.
Off topic but if you are a T-Mobile customer, you get MLB-TV for free if you sign up now plus a year of the Athletic at no cost (as long as you cancel next July).
Thank you! I was wondering if I had missed my mlb.tv chances
Sprint as well same process
Sprint merged with T-Mobile.
Was the trash can cleared to resume training?
I assume the Yankees YES network cameras are cleared for training as well
Weak comeback. jimthegoat = 1, whiplash = 0.
I’d say it’s 0-0 at this point
I second this score.
I actually thought his comeback was pretty decent. The problem with it, however, is that I am not a Yankees fan.
Just the average hater who can’t get over it?
Correct harden-westbrook-mvps, just like the rest of the users that are salty
deGrom is in Cy Young form already this season. 8 K’s thru 5 innings so far. Too bad Thor went down; the Mets could have challenged for the title this year, and I am not a Mets fan.
WOW! All the comments are off-topic.
I like turtles.
I’m glad they are healthy, hopefully they will produce for the team. -On topic comment, first and last.
