Alvarez has been having an extraordinary season with the Round Rock Express, the Astros AAA affiliate. Fans have been clamoring for the front office to promote him to the Major Leagues. It has been assumed that they were waiting for the ever-elusive Super 8 date to have come and gone.
Well, it seems that time has finally arrived. According to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, Alvarez has been called up to join the Astros on Sunday. At this time there is still no word on who he’ll be replacing on the roster.
The Astros are calling up Yordan Alvarez from Triple A ahead of tomorrow's game, sources tell The Athletic.
