Yordan Alvarez’s latest comments on his lingering hand injury have left Astros fans more uneasy than ever. When asked whether he’ll be playing through pain the rest of the season, Alvarez admitted he isn’t sure, saying he feels like he needs rest, but also knows he’s expected to be on the field. That uncertainty has only fueled more questions than answers.

What exactly is going on with one of the Astros’ most dangerous hitters? Why is he still receiving injections? And if his hand was once “60 percent healed,” why hasn’t he fully recovered? Fans are beginning to wonder whether this is more serious than the team is letting on, and whether the version of Yordan they once knew is truly coming back.

For a player with such a massive impact on Houston’s lineup, these lingering doubts are tough to ignore. Is this just a temporary setback… or the beginning of a new, more fragile reality?
