Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Alvarez (hand) has a chance to return from the 10-day injured list for next weekend's series against the Dodgers, though Brown added that is "not the most likely scenario," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Alvarez has been ramping up his swinging recently and will report to the Astros' spring facility in Florida this week to face live pitching, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. The veteran slugger appears to be closing in on his return from the IL, with next weekend's three-game series in Los Angeles being an unlikely best-case scenario for his activation.
