Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve played a big role in his team's 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday. Altuve went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer to help power the Astros to the win. The veteran infielder ripped his three-run homer off Texas reliever Jose Urena in the sixth inning to give Houston a 6-2 lead. Altuve is putting together a strong season for the Astros, hitting .305 with 14 homers, 56 runs, 44 RBI, and 14 stolen bases across 377 at-bats.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hand) will miss next week's All-Star game, "opting to rest a sore left hand," stemming from being hit by a pitch last Friday against the Minnesota Twins, according to the team. After being hit on his hand last Friday, Altuve sat out Saturday's game before returning to action in Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. The 34-year-old has started each of the last three games since being hit in the hand and should be fine, but the Astros prefer if he gets some extra rest heading into the second half of the season next weekend. The nine-time All-Star has had a fantastic bounce-back season in 2024 after an injury-plagued 2023 campaign and is taking an eight-game hitting streak into Thursday's contest versus the visiting Miami Marlins. He's gone 13-for-34 (.382) with a double and five RBI during his current streak.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hand) is back at second base and in his customary leadoff spot on Sunday against the hosting Minnesota Twins and rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson. Altuve was forced from the series opener on Friday night in Minnesota after being hit by a pitch in his left hand. Thankfully, X-rays came back negative for any fractures, and the 34-year-old All-Star was diagnosed with a left-hand contusion. He was held out of Saturday's lineup as a precaution but will return for the series finale on Sunday. Altuve has had an excellent bounce-back season to this point in 2024 after an injury-plagued 2023 campaign. He's currently slashing .310/.360/.466 with an .827 OPS, 13 homers, 40 RBI, 13 steals and 53 runs scored in 358 at-bats. Get him back in all fantasy lineups. Altuve has never faced Woods Richardson in his career.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting Minnesota Twins after he was hit by a pitch on his left hand on Friday night. Altuve left the contest in the eighth inning after talking with a trainer, but thankfully X-rays on his hand came back negative, and he's dealing with a left-hand contusion. For now, consider the All-Star to be day-to-day. Move him to your fantasy bench and check back on Sunday to see if he's active. It's been an excellent bounce-back season for the 34-year-old veteran, who is hitting .310 (111-for-358) with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 53 runs scored on the year. He's a no-doubt, must-start when he's on the field. Utility man Mauricio Dubon is making the start at second base on Saturday and will hit seventh for Houston against Twins right-hander Joe Ryan.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hand, wrist) left the game early on Friday against the hosting Minnesota Twins after being hit by a pitch on his left/hand wrist area. Altuve was removed from the contest in eighth inning after talking with a team trainer. The 34-year-old veteran helped his fantasy managers by going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a strikeout in the game before hitting the showers early. He'll likely undergo X-rays at the stadium, and we should have a better idea of the severity of his injury later Friday night or by Saturday morning. Altuve has been a beast this year, hitting .308 with 13 homers and 13 steals in 2024, so losing him for any amount of time would be a big blow for the 'Stros and fantasy managers. Mauricio Dubon replaced Altuve at second on Friday and would likely become the team's primary second baseman if Altuve goes on the injured list.UPDATE: X-rays revealed no fracture, and Altuve was diagnosed with a left-hand contusion.
