They said recovery for that injury is typically 8 months so there is a very small chance that he is back for the playoffs but in all reality, yes, he's done for this year.

This year has flown by and things have snuck up on me. I can't believe that opening day is tomorrow and that the NFL draft is less than a month away. Crazy. Gug, I expected Alvarez to be sent down and, honestly, it was the right decision. He need to get as many games behind the plate as possible before sticking and he didn't have a great Spring at the plate either. I was more disappointed in Baty being sent down but I get that, too. He needs more seasoning at 3B and some games in the OF which is probably where he'll need to play with Escobar at 3B. He'll be up sooner rather than later, IMO. Vientos is likely a trade chip so a nice productive stint in the minors would benefit the team, as well.
