Jose Altuve Returns To Lineup On Monday
Jose Altuve (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener at home against the visiting Kansas City Royals and right-hander Michael Wacha, playing second base and batting second. Zach Dezenzo is in left field and hitting eighth. Altuve will return to the field after leaving Saturday's game early against the Cincinnati Reds due to tightness in his hamstring and the sitting out Sunday's series finale. Fantasy managers will want to plug the nine-time Venezuelan All-Star back into their starting lineups despite the fact that he's only hitting a mediocre .259 (38-for-147) with four home runs, 14 RBI, 18 runs and three steals on the year. He's also hitting .200 (6-for-30) with two doubles and three runs in eight games so far in May. In a limited sample size of six career at-bats against Wacha, Altuve is hitting .167 with an RBI.
