Athletics call up former Yankees prospect Armando Alvarez to fill injury-ridden outfield

The Athletics are set to debut a former New York Yankees prospect, Armando Alvarez, on Saturday at the Coliseum. Toro, who has been the A’s leadoff man this season and grounded out in the sixth inning of Friday night’s game, is likely to be placed on the IL with a strained right hamstring.

Alvarez, who was drafted by the Yankees in 2016 and later signed with the Giants, has played over 700 minor league games in his career. He has been putting up impressive numbers with Las Vegas this season, slashing .311/.401/.528 with eight homers, nine doubles, and 33 RBIs in 47 games. This call-up is a significant opportunity for the 29-year-old Alvarez to showcase his talent at the highest level of baseball. Fans will be eager to see how he performs in Toro’s absence as the A’s continue their season.
