Jose Altuve's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will get the day off on Monday on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays. Altuve will take a seat a day after being ejected in the seventh inning of Sunday's contest against the New York Mets. It's just the All-Star's third day off of the season. The 34-year-old veteran Venezuelan infielder has been excellent yet again for the Astros and fantasy managers in 2024, as he's currently hitting a cool .304/.353/.469 with an .822 OPS, 13 home runs, 37 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 50 runs scored in 339 at-bats after playing in only 90 games in 2023 due to injuries. The eight-time All-Star is a must-start in fantasy anytime he's in the lineup. Mauricio Dubon will replace Altuve at second base on Monday and will bat seventh against Blue Jays rookie right-hander Yariel Rodriguez.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve wasted no time Friday night by popping a leadoff solo home run on the first pitch of the game off of Jose Quintana while pitching in another hit in a 7-2 loss to the New York Mets. Altuve had never hit Quintana well in his career so the first-pitch fishing comes to no surprise as the 34-year-old veteran is one of the most notorious first-pitch hitters. Tonight's game being Altuve's 80th game of the season puts him well on pace to pass his 17 home run total that he had last season due to only playing in 90 games because of a broken hand. The pesky Venezuelan is hitting .304 and continues to thrive at the top of the Astros lineup.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was once again solid at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran infielder went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and two stolen bases in the win. Unsurprisingly, Altuve was the offensive catalyst for this team. The 34-year-old has been hot with a .365 batting average with three home runs and 13 RBI over his last 15 games. Fantasy managers should make sure to keep Altuve in their lineups while he's hot at the plate.
