August 22, 2025
Manager Brian Snitker confirmed that Alvarez will be Atlanta's starting third baseman for the rest of the season after Austin Riley (core) underwent surgery Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
While Snitker suggested that in the long run Alvarez might be better suited to a utility role, the 22-year-old will get a chance to change that impression over the final month-plus of the season. Through 91 plate appearances in the majors in 2025, Alvarez is slashing .247/.330/.309 with zero home runs or steals, but he slugged 10 long balls and pilfered 10 bags with an .861 OPS over 64 Triple-A contests in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening for MLB debut?
SSAtlanta Braves
July 21, 2024
According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, there's a chance Alvarez is called up by Atlanta in the near future since Ozzie Albies is headed to the injured list with a wrist injury.
Analysis
The club doesn't have a clear replacement for Albies already on the big-league roster, as the only middle infielder besides starting shortstop Orlando Arcia is journeyman Zack Short, who has a .478 OPS this season. Alvarez is one of the organization's top prospects and has crushed Triple-A pitching since being promoted in June with a 1.011 OPS in 27 games. If called up by Atlanta, the 21-year-old would likely remain at his natural position of shortstop, which would push Arcia to second base.
