The Houston Astros faced a tough end to the 2024 season, marked by Yordan Alvarez's right knee sprain, which sidelined him for the last six regular-season games. Although he returned as a designated hitter for the playoffs, his injury raised concerns, with Alvarez revealing it involved significant damage. Despite the initial fears of possible surgery, he reported recovery progress, stating he feels good and ready for Spring Training. Alvarez's history of knee issues underscores the ongoing challenges he faces as he continues to balance playing in the outfield with his strong offensive contributions.
But the last three or four weeks, it's been feeling great, so everything is good to go.... Apparently, it wasn't enough damage to have surgery, [because] the body's been recovering good and I feel good to go.
I’ve been running, training, and I haven’t had any setbacks, and it’s good.
This isn’t the first time knee problems have hampered Alvarez, since arthroscopic surgeries on both knees limited Alvarez to only two games during the 2020 campaign.
Alvarez missed Houston's last six games of the schedule but was able to return for the team's brief playoff run as a designated hitter.
