"Alvarez departed Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers mid at-bat in the bottom of the sixth inning after suffering an injury to his right leg. He will undergo imaging on Wednesday, the team said. Alvarez appeared to hurt himself while swinging, in which he fouled an offering from Detroit reliever Burch Smith back and out of play. He called for the trainers and, after a brief conversation, walked off the field with the count at 2-2."
"It appeared as though Alvarez might have initially done something to that leg in the second inning when he beat out a double play for an RBI fielder's choice in the second. After a heavy step on first base to beat the throw, he momentarily looked down at the area, but stayed in the game without issue. The catcher also doubled in his second at-bat of the night, and came around to score on Carson Benge's go-ahead single in the fourth inning."
"Pinch-hitter Luis Torrens came in and worked out a walk. Alvarez entered Tuesday night batting .236 with a .696 OPS, four home runs, and nine RBI. He had a recent seven-game hitting streak snapped on Sunday."
