Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Activated Saturday

Alvarez (hand) was activated off the minor-league disabled list by Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday.

Houston's third-ranked prospect made his presence felt immediately upon his return to the lineup. Alvarez launched a pair of two-run home runs -- one in the first inning and another in the third -- before the game was called due to rain in the fifth inning.
