Alvarez missed the first game of the series on Tuesday with a stomach bug, which is spreading around the Astros clubhouse.

In 2021, Alvarez had 149 hits in 537 at-bats for 104 RBI, 92 runs, and 33 home runs. He hit .277 with a .346 OBP, a .877 OPS, and 3.2 WAR.
Michael Brantley will be the designated hitter for Houston, with Aledmys Diaz, Chas McCormick, and Kyle Tucker playing in the outfield.
The Astros are first in the AL West with a 4-1 record, 1.5 games up on the Los Angeles Angels.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Houston Astros are -162 against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. The matchup features Framber Valdez facing off with Merrill Kelly.
