Jose Altuve Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon
6 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring, knee) could begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, although the destination has not been determined. Altuve will require more than one or two games this time around after injuring his calf on his last rehab assignment. Houston would like to see him play in back-to-back games before they reinstate him. The six-time All-Star could return at some point during the club's seven-game road trip. Infielder Jack Mayfield is the likely casualty on the roster once Altuve is ready to return. He's been a useful infield utility guy, but he's just 2-for-33 with seven strikeouts.
