Tallies 21st homer Alvarez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Rangers.
Impact Alvarez slugged his 21st home run of the season and his first since July 21. His power has dipped significantly from past seasons -- his .230 ISO is 60 points below his mark in 2023 -- which has also significantly cut into his counting stats. While Alvarez remains a strong source of batting average, the rest of his line has suffered.

Reaches base three times Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a walk Sunday against the Rays.
Impact Alvarez has had a surprising lack of power production this season, as his .227 ISO is the lowest mark of his career. While that has hurt his counting stats, he's still been an excellent source of batting average and now has eight multi-hit efforts in his last 25 starts. In that span, Alvarez has hit .322 with 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and four home runs.
