Jose Altuve News
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve recently returned to the lineup and missing most of the first two months of the season due to injury. He has been swinging a red-hot bat this returning to the Astros' lineup. On Sunday, Altuve went 3-for-5 with his first home run of the season in the 10-1 win over the Oakland Athletics. The 33-year-old is slashing .370/.452/.593 with one home run and two RBI in his first seven games this season. Hopefully, he'll be able to keep swinging a hot bat.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He was removed from Tuesday's game due to an illness and has been sidelined since then. Luckily, Altuve is feeling better now and appears ready to play once again. He'll cover second base and bat leadoff versus righty James Kaprielian on Friday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Altuve back in there for this favorable matchup.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (illness) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Altuve was lifted from Tuesday night's affair early because he was feeling under the weather, and he's also being held out in a matinee contest the following day. The 33-year-old All-Star will also have the team's off day on Thursday to rest up, so there's a good chance fantasy managers will have him back for the start of a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. Altuve has played in only three games this year after suffering a fractured thumb in the World Baseball Classic, and he has three hits in his first 12 at-bats. Mauricio Dubon is at second base and is batting leadoff for Houston on Wednesday against Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser.

From 2018-2020, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve missed 75 games due to injury. While he was still a very productive hitter save for the shortened 2020 season in that stretch, a return to health vaulted him back into elite status after a dominant 2022 campaign. Altuve brought both power and speed to the table with 28 home runs, a .233 ISO, and 18 stolen bases last season. His 164 wRC+ was the second-best mark of his 12-year big league career while he hit .300 for the first time since the 2018 campaign. However, it wasn't all rosy for the 32-year-old, as he ranked in the league's fifth percentile in hard-hit rate, sixth in average exit velocity, and right around league average at 49th in barrel rate. Altuve is trending at a 44 ADP as a result of his 2022 success, and while he's a safe option at his position, it's fair to question what he can do for an encore given a 24 HR, 12 SB, .185 ISO, .274 batting average and 132 wRC+ projection, as per Steamer.
