Alvarez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Alvarez delivered a two-homer game in his second game out of the All-Star break, but he's just 3-for-19 with seven strikeouts since that point. Michael Brantley will serve as the designated hitter Wednesday while Josh Reddick, Jake Marisnick and George Springer start in the outfield.
