HOUSTON —Astros<\/a>All-Star left fielder Yordan Alvarez<\/a> left Monday’s game against the Texas Rangers<\/a> with a sprained left ankle.<\/p>\n

Alvarez appeared to slip as he crossed home plate in the first inning, scoring from first base on a throwing error by Rangers pitcher Jack Leiter<\/a> onCarlos Correa<\/a>‘s infield single. Alvarez was tended to by a trainer outside the Astros’ dugout and then helped down the steps.<\/p>\n

Zach Cole entered the game in right field in the second inning, with Jesus Sanchez<\/a> moving to left.<\/p>\n

The team announced the injury a couple of innings after Alvarez left the game.<\/p>\n

Alvarez entered Monday’s game batting .273 with six home runs and 27 RBIs, but has been limited to 47 games due to a fractured right hand that forced him to miss 101 games.<\/p>\n

The Astros began the day with a two-game lead over the Rangers for the American League’s final wild-card spot.<\/p>\n
