Yordan Alvarez fell ill on the field and had to be transported to the hospital during Friday's game.

Dusty Baker said Alvarez had shortness of breath, which was made worse by the smoke in the air after the Braves shot off fireworks at Truist Park.

"He's being analyzed by the doctors," Baker said. "They said all his vitals are good. He's feeling normal but he still has to see our doctor. He was just, he had shortness of breath, and then when they shot the fireworks off, the smoke kind of made it worse."

Alvarez departed the game under his own power with two outs int he bottom of the fifth inning.

"I'm glad we got him out when we did," Baker said. "I looked up and he was in the dugout. It was kind of a scary moment. It could be anything. They said he's doing fine at the moment."

Baker said no one in the Astros' dugout knew Alvarez, an AL All-Star this year and the 2019 Rookie of the Year, was in any distress.

"We didn't see anything," Baker said. "I just looked up in the dugout and he was there. After that we had to take it into emergency action to find out what's wrong and then the emergency crew came over and took him to the hospital."
