Jose Altuve Feeling Better, Heading to Florida to Continue Rehab
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) is feeling better after suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain one week ago. He was seen walking around the clubhouse on Saturday and said that, while he can do some light workouts, he has yet to resume baseball activities. The 36-year-old will travel to West Palm Beach on Sunday to continue his rehab, where he will hopefully make additional progress soon. The veteran has struggled to start the season, hitting just four home runs and stealing only one base through his first 42 games played. Upon his return, he should immediately slot back into the starting role at second base. In the meantime, both Braden Shewmake and Brice Matthews will continue to split time, with neither showing enough consistency to run away with the job.
