Astros left fielder Yordan Alvarez leaves game against Rangers due to apparent leg injury

By Canadian Press on September 15, 2025.

HOUSTON (AP) — Astros All-Star left fielder Yordan Alvarez left Monday’s game against the Texas Rangers due to an apparent leg injury.

After scoring from first base on a throwing error by Rangers pitcher Jack Leiter on Carlos Correa’s infield single in the first inning, Alvarez was tended to by a trainer outside the Astros’ dugout and then helped down the steps. He was replaced by Zach Cole in the second inning.

Alvarez entered Monday’s game batting .273 with six home runs and 27 RBIs, but has been limited to 47 games due to a fractured right hand that forced him to miss 101 games.

The Astros began the day with a two-game lead over the Rangers for the American League’s final wild-card spot.
