Jose Altuve Absent Against Reds
Jose Altuve (hamstring) is out of the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Daikin Park. Zach Dezenzo is starting in left field and batting sixth against Reds right-handed rookie Chase Petty. Fantasy managers shouldn't be all that surprised that Altuve is out on Sunday after he was forced to leave Saturday's contest early with tightness in his hamstring. It's unclear if the 35-year-old veteran's injury is serious enough to land him on the injured list, but fantasy managers will want to check back on Monday to see if he's active in the series opener against the Kansas City Royals. The nine-time All-Star and former MVP hasn't homered since April 28 and has gone 6-for-30 (.200) in eight games so far in May. Dezenzo will be playing in just his 41st MLB game after debuting in 2024. He's 16-for-60 (.267) so far in 2025 with only one homer and eight RBI.
