Jose Altuve to Require Offseason Foot Surgery?
Jose Altuve (foot) said he played through a "pretty painful" right-foot injury late in the year, "but I had no choice but to go out there and play," according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Altuve will visit with doctors, and they are going to "recommend some stuff" in the offseason. It's unclear whether that will include surgery. The 35-year-old veteran All-Star ended up only missing one game after spraining his right foot in the middle of September, but he played through it as the Astros tried to secure the final wild-card spot in the American League. That didn't happen, and now Altuve could go under the knife this offseason. Altuve's batting average came down to .265 in 2025, but he still had 26 home runs, 77 RBI, 80 runs scored, and 10 steals in 155 games. The former MVP is nearing the tail end of his career, but there's still pop in his bat, and he'll have eligibility at second base and the outfield in fantasy going into 2026.
