Yordan Alvarez - Dealing with bruised knee Alvarez was diagnosed with a right knee contusion after exiting Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Twins and isn't scheduled to undergo any imaging, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle...
Impact Alvarez was hit in the knee by a pitch in the sixth inning of Saturday's game and though he stayed in the game to run the bases, he was later removed in the eighth inning. Considering he won't require imaging, the 27-year-old should be viewed as day-to-day. However, with a team off day coming Monday, the Astros could opt to play it safe and hold Alvarez out of Sunday's series finale against Minnesota.

Yordan Alvarez - Exits after HBP Alvarez was removed from Saturday's game versus Minnesota after getting hit by a pitch, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Alvarez took a 94-mph fastball off his right knee during the sixth inning of Saturday's contest. He initially remained in the game to run the bases despite looking uncomfortable, but Grae Kessinger pinch hit for him during the eighth. Houston will presumably take Alvarez in for imaging, and the team should have more information on his injury in the near future.

Kaleb Ort - Recalled to majors The Astros recalled Ort from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Since being claimed off waivers from Baltimore in May, Ort has allowed just one earned run in 12 innings with Sugar Land while striking out 17 batters and walking four. His dominant performance has now earned him another shot in the majors, and he figures to work in middle relief while with the Astros. Luis Contreras was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Luis Contreras - Optioned to Triple-A The Astros optioned Contreras to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Contreras had cruised through 4.1 scoreless innings through his first four MLB appearances, but he'll now be sent back to Triple-A after allowing six earned runs in just 1.2 frames Friday. It's possible he returns to Houston if he gets back to putting up numbers similar to his 1.40 ERA in Triple-A, but for now the Astros will call up Kaleb Ort to replace Contreras in the bullpen.

Jeremy Peña - Another big performance Pena went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored Friday against the Twins.
Impact Pena delivered a pair of RBI singles and a sacrifice fly to account for his production. That continued a strong run, as across his last 15 games Pena has maintained a .298 batting average with two homers, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored. His .118 across 86 games exactly matches his mark from 2023, though he's on pace to easily set new career highs in RBI and stolen bases while also hitting .285.

Josh Hader - Escapes with 15th save Hader picked up the save in Friday's 13-12 win against the Twins. He faced two batters, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one.
Impact Hader likely didn't expect to enter Friday's contest as the Astros held a 13-5 lead entering the ninth. However, Luis Contreras allowed three runs and then loaded the bases, forcing the call to the Houston closer. Hader allowed a grand slam to Carlos Correa to bring the Twins within one before fanning Manuel Margot for his 15th save of the campaign. The Houston southpaw now sports a 3.92 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB across 39 total innings while going 15-for-16 in save chances.
