Jose Altuve To Make 2023 Debut Friday
2 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (thumb) will be activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday and will make his 2023 debut against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Ken Waldichuk. Altuve went just 2-for-22 in five minor-league rehab games for Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land, but the Astros apparently weren't too concerned and think he's ahead of schedule after fracturing his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic. The 33-year-old All-Star could be slow out of the gates offensively for fantasy managers, but the most important thing is that he's back in action. Mauricio Dubon had been seeing most of the playing time at the keystone with Altuve out, but he'll now mostly be in a bench role for Houston.
