The Houston Astros’ ailing offense is about to get a big boost.

Manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday that reigning American League Rookie of the Year Yordan Alvarez, who has yet to play this season, could be back “in a couple days.”

That would indicate Alvarez might see action when the Astros open a three-game series at home Friday night against the Seattle Mariners.

Alvarez, on the injured list for undisclosed reasons, has been working out at the Astros’ alternate training site in Corpus Christi. He had five doubles and a home run in 19 plate appearances in intrasquad games, according to the Houston Chronicle.

The Astros’ lineup has been hampered by George Springer’s wrist injury, Michael Brantley’s quad strain and Jose Altuve’s struggles.

Springer returned to the starting lineup Wednesday as the Astros defeated visiting San Francisco 5-1.

“I think with (Alvarez) in the lineup, a lot of things can happen,” Springer said Wednesday.
