Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said that the team "is in no rush to try and rush" second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) back before next week's All-Star break. Brown said the team doesn't know if Altuve will go on the injured list, but it sounds likely that he won't play in Houston's final four games before the break. The 33-year-old tweaked his left oblique taking batting practice before Tuesday's game, and the Astros aren't going to take any chances with an injury that also sidelined Altuve for four games last month. He went for an MRI exam on Wednesday. Until Altuve returns in the second half of the season, Mauricio Dubon will continue to see most of the starts at the keystone.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
