Report: Bregman, Alvarez among players slated to rejoin Astros Tuesday
Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Martin Maldonado, and Robel Garcia are scheduled to return to the Houston Astros active roster for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies in Denver, a source told Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.
They still need to clear intake testing protocols to be officially cleared to return, so there's a chance they could be delayed.
The foursome - and second baseman Jose Altuve - were placed on the injured list last Wednesday due to health and safety protocols. Altuve isn't slated to return alongside his teammates.
The Astros didn't say whether or not a player or staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
Houston has gone 1-3 since the five players were put on the IL and currently sits in fourth place in the AL West with a 7-8 record.
