Yordan Alvarez took 8 live at-bats against live pitching at the Astros' minor-league facility in Florida and will come to Houston on Sunday.

He drew a seven-pitch walk in his first at-bat of the day before swinging at a first-pitch strike in the seventh inning for a single. But the highlight of Alvarez’s night came during his last plate appearance, when he drilled a double to left field.

Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez will begin a rehab assignment for Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, manager Joe Espada said on Sunday.
