Jose Altuve Remains Out Against Cardinals
1 year agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday for the start of a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Altuve did not play in Sunday's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a heel injury that he suffered on Saturday night. Even with an off day on Monday, the 33-year-old isn't quite ready to return, but hopefully it doesn't turn into a situation that will require an injured-list stint. Mauricio Dubon, who is having one of his best seasons, is getting another start at the keystone and will bat leadoff against Cardinals left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Altuve got a late start in 2023 due to a fractured wrist, and he's currently hitting .263 (26-for-99) with three homers, seven doubles, 11 RBI, five steals and 18 runs in just 26 contests.
