Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez addressed the wait for Thursday’s American League MVP announcement as he prepares for a busy awards week in Las Vegas.

Alvarez is one of three finalists alongside Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero and Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. The winner will be revealed Thursday at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on MLB Network.

The announcement follows a season in which Alvarez hit 42 home runs and drove in 106 runs across 158 games. He also earned Players Choice recognition as the AL Outstanding Player.

MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart shared Alvarez’s comments Monday night on X, formerly Twitter, offering a glimpse into how the Astros star slugger is handling the final days before the reveal.

“The last couple of days I’ve been a little nervous. The day is getting close and it’s very exciting and a little nervous for me.”

Alvarez will fly to Las Vegas on Wednesday for the MLB Awards show at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan. He could also receive the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award and Comeback Player of the Year honors during the event.

Those presentations are separate from Thursday’s MVP announcement, giving Alvarez multiple opportunities for recognition during the week.

His MVP candidacy rests on a season in which he batted .316 with a .432 on-base percentage and .601 slugging percentage. His 1.033 OPS reflected a combination of power and an ability to reach base that made him a leading candidate for the award.

Alvarez led the American League in all four categories while providing the Astros with production across nearly an entire regular-season schedule. His 42 homers and 106 RBIs added to an offensive resume already recognized by his fellow players.

As of Monday night, the MVP result remains unannounced, with Alvarez, Caminero, and Witt awaiting Thursday’s reveal.
