Pedro Alvarez Injury: Quad Problem Still Persisting

Pedro Alvarez has retweaked his quad and is no longer able to play in extended spring gamesAny march toward respectability was supposed to be joined by the 24-year-old slugger, who hit .256/.326/.461 in a promising rookie campaign just last year. Alvarez was scuffling this year, though, as his batting average and on-base percentage dropped precipitously and his power was way down, too. If he hadn’t been hurt, he might have been demoted for a bit of confidence-building.
