00:00Astros star suffers gruesome injury done for the season.

00:04If you're an Astros fan, go ahead and take a deep breath,

00:07because this is not what you wanted to hear heading into the home stretch of the season.

00:12Jordan Alvarez, the heart of Houston's batting order

00:14and one of the most fearsome hitters in baseball when he's on,

00:18just added another chapter to what's become a painfully frustrating 2025 campaign.

00:24And not in the clutch home run in the ninth kind of way.

00:27Nope.

00:28We're talking about a grim-looking ankle injury that had fans at Dakin Park falling into stunned silence.

00:34Top of the first inning against the Texas Rangers, Alvarez draws a walk.

00:39Nothing flashy, just a calm, composed eight-bat, typical Jordan.

00:43Then things get chaotic.

00:45A throwing error from Rangers pitcher Jack Leader sends Jordan bolting around the bases.

00:50He's hustling, rounding third, charging home.

00:53He beats the throw, barely.

00:55But as he steps on the plate, his left foot slips.

00:59And it's not a little misstep.

01:01We're talking a sickening twist of the ankle, with his knee giving out just enough to make you wince.

01:07He hit the ground hard, didn't get up.

01:10Out came the trainers.

01:11And off went Alvarez, replaced in the outfield by Zachary Cole before the top of the second even started.

01:17The team later confirmed what everyone feared.

01:19A left ankle sprain.

01:20Now, we don't want to jump to conclusions, but let's be honest.

01:24This feels like a gut punch.

01:26Jordan has only managed 48 games this year, hampered by a tough right-hand injury.

01:31When he's played, he's produced decently.

01:34Now it's a lower body injury, troubling for Alvarez's power.

01:38Ankles impact more than mobility.

01:40They're crucial for balance, torque, and power generation.

01:43The Houston Astros, sitting at 81 and 69, are barely holding on to the league's crucial third and final wildcard playoff spot.

01:53October is near, and Jordan was a key postseason piece.

01:56Hope hinges on his sprained severity.

01:58Without him, a crucial bat is missing from the lineup.

02:01For Houston, the margin of error thins.

02:04We'll see you next time.

02:05February 60, 21, 21, 22, 24.

02:06Before we reached the end, we were εν

02:22In the last 52, 21.

02:23For Houston, the discord for Roy fired.
