Official: Bo Bichette and Yordan Alvarez will miss the rest of the regular season

In the last few days, Bo Bichette and Yordan Alvarez have been injured. We're talking about two big names who play for playoff-bound teams… and whose absence leaves a gaping hole in their respective rosters.

These injuries don't come at an ideal time.

So we waited for news on both players… and in the last hour, it all came out… and the two cases are quite similar.

As for Bichette, John Schneider has confirmed that his regular season is over. That said, the news is relatively good: he won't need surgery. The initial diagnosis has been confirmed: a sprained ligament in the left knee.

The club remains hopeful of seeing him back in time for the playoffs.

And in the case of Alvarez, the news isn't much different: the Astros don't expect to see him back by the end of the regular season.

The slugger suffered a severe left ankle sprain, and the club has insisted that it's a severe injury…

But even so, there's still some prospect of seeing him in the playoffs again.

For both Bichette and Alvarez, we're talking about sprains (knee for Bichette, ankle for Alvarez), but no tears or fractures. The two guys avoided the worst-case scenario.

And that's why there's still a chance of seeing them in the playoffs.

Of course, that doesn't mean they'll be ready to return in October. But to hear that the door isn't closed in that respect is reassuring for both fan bases.

Let's see if they'll be able to come back in two weeks' time.
