Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez left Sunday’s 9-8 loss to the Los Angeles Angels after sliding hard into second base in the third inning with what the team described as a “knee contusion.” The Astros got some more clarity on how serious Alvarez’ injury is ahead of Monday’s game against the Seattle Mariners.

Manager Joe Espada confirmed that Alvarez would have an MRI on Monday and that he had already had an X-Ray that showed “inflammation,” per Chandler Rome of the Athletic. Espada also said that when Alvarez woke up on Monday, he was “pretty sore.”

Alvarez is not in Monday’s lineup as he continues to get further testing on his knee.
