Teams typically provide regular injury updates and use IL/disabled list designations when applicable. If you’re following his impact, look for progression notes (e.g., “cleared to swing,” “limited to DH/first base,” “no return date yet”) in team press releases and beat reporters.
• 2025–2026 outlook: When healthy, Álvarez remains a central piece in the Astros’ lineup, often contributing in power and run production.
