Jose Altuve Exits After Swing
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (side) appeared to injure himself during the team's win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Altuve grounded into a double play in the eighth inning, and he experienced so much discomfort in his left side that he didn't even bother running to first base after his swing. Following the game, manager Joe Espada confirmed that the veteran infielder will undergo additional imaging. He finished the game 1-for-4 with his fourth homer of the season. Fans and fantasy managers will hope the injury isn't too severe, as he has historically been one of the best hitters in baseball. Once he does get back into the lineup, he'll look to improve upon a modest start that includes a .245/.326/.380 slash line with a 10.3% walk rate and an 18.9% strikeout rate.
