Byron Buxton will undergo an MRI on his injured right hip. Twins manager Rocco Baldelli revealed that, in addition to his nagging right knee ailment, Buxton has also battled a hip injury for much of the season. He aggravated that hip malady on Monday. The 28-year-old deserves credit for gutting it out through multiple ailments and being productive while doing so with a .832 OPS and 28 homers. We should find out more about Buxton’s condition on Tuesday.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI on Sunday, leading the Astros to a 5-4 victory over the Braves. He’s back. Alvarez showed zero signs of rust following a one-game absence due to illness, which required him to be briefly hospitalized on Friday evening after experiencing shortness of breath. The 25-year-old fantasy superstar walloped a two-run single in the third inning off Astros starter Charlie Morton and also singled and scored a run in the eighth inning. He’s hitting a sublime .296/.400/.609 with 77 runs scored, 31 home runs, 79 RBI and one stolen base across 433 plate appearances.
