Yordan Alvarez was eligible to return from the injured list on Tuesday but was not activated as he recovers from muscle strain in right hand.

Yuli Gurriel, who was released by the San Diego Padres earlier this year, is trying to do all he can to keep his major league career going.

PITCHING PROBABLES: Royals: Michael Lorenzen (3-3, 3.57 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 40 strikeouts); Astros: Colton Gordon (0-0) BOTTOM LINE: The Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals meet on Wednesday with the three-game series tied 1-1.

Twelve of Houston's 14 active position players hit right-handed, and other teams have noticed the team's lack of offensive balance.

First, at 10:18 p.m. ET, the Detroit Tigers walked off the Boston Red Sox in the bottom of the 11th inning thanks to Javier Baez hitting a three-run home run to end the game. Baez celebrated accordingly by flipping his bat before he rounded the bases to the cheers of some very excited Tigers fans.
