Yordan Alvarez’s hand injury is more severe than initially thought, revealing a small fracture in his fourth metacarpal that is about 60% healed. General manager Dana Brown indicated that the fracture was missed in earlier imaging due to inflammation and fluid, and while Alvarez has been sidelined since May 3, they had hoped for a return this weekend. Alvarez emphasized the need for rest to ensure complete healing, noting that his injury worsened while he attempted to play through a muscle strain.
