Jose Altuve Fantasy Stats

Houston Astros second baseman/outfielder Jose Altuve (foot) had a minor skin aspiration on Monday, a source told MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. The procedure removed fluid from a wound between Altuve's fourth and fifth toes on his right foot after he was bothered by a sore foot in the final two weeks of the regular season. The 35-year-old nine-time All-Star and former MVP hit .265 in 2025 with 26 home runs, 77 RBI, and 80 runs scored in 155 games. Altuve started the year in an unfamiliar position in left field before moving back to second base after Yordan Alvarez suffered a hand injury early in the year. He ended up starting 61 games at the keystone, 49 at designated hitter, and 44 in left field. In his 15th season with the Astros, Altuve moved into second all-time on the franchise list in hits with 2,388, trailing only Craig Biggio. Altuve is also third on the franchise list in extra-base hits (742) and games played (1,976). He is the fourth primary second baseman in baseball history with 255 career homers and 325 steals, joining Biggio, Joe Morgan, and Ryne Sandberg. Altuve should be a full-go for spring training.

Houston Astros second baseman/outfielder Jose Altuve (foot) said he played through a "pretty painful" right-foot injury late in the year, "but I had no choice but to go out there and play," according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Altuve will visit with doctors, and they are going to "recommend some stuff" in the offseason. It's unclear whether that will include surgery. The 35-year-old veteran All-Star ended up only missing one game after spraining his right foot in the middle of September, but he played through it as the Astros tried to secure the final wild-card spot in the American League. That didn't happen, and now Altuve could go under the knife this offseason. Altuve's batting average came down to .265 in 2025, but he still had 26 home runs, 77 RBI, 80 runs scored, and 10 steals in 155 games. The former MVP is nearing the tail end of his career, but there's still pop in his bat, and he'll have eligibility at second base and the outfield in fantasy going into 2026.

Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Jose Altuve (foot) is starting at second base and will bat cleanup for the Astros in Monday's series opener against the division-rival Texas Rangers and right-hander Jack Leiter at Daikin Park. Altuve was pulled from Saturday's game early against the Atlanta Braves with soreness in his right foot and didn't start in the series finale on Sunday. The 35-year-old veteran All-Star is back in action for the start of a crucial American League West series on Monday, though, and fantasy managers will want to get him back in their lineups, even though he's gone hitless in five career at-bats against Leiter. Houston is going to need Altuve at full health down the stretch as they look to get into the postseason. He's been outstanding again for the team in 2025, but he's hitting .163 (7-for-43) with two homers, five RBI, and nine strikeouts so far in 12 games in September.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (foot) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Altuve will head to the bench after exiting early during Saturday's game due to right foot discomfort. The Astros will take the cautious approach and hold out Altuve for at least one game. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for another update on his status. For now, fantasy managers should consider Altuve as day-to-day. Zach Cole takes over in left field while Mauricio Dubon plays second base on Sunday.

Houston Astros second baseman/outfielder Jose Altuve (foot) left early in a 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday with discomfort in his right foot. Altuve went 1-for-2 with a single before the Astros brought in Ramon Urias to replace him at second in the bottom of the third inning. Manager Joe Espada said afterward that the Astros were being "cautious" in taking out Altuve, who's now being evaluated. Although Altuve has only hit .212 since the start of August, this has been yet another productive season for the nine-time All-Star. He has slashed .264/.327/.443 with 25 homers, 70 RBI, 77 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in 612 plate appearances. The Astros should have an update on his status before Sunday's series finale against the Braves.

Houston Astros outfielders Jose Altuve and Cam Smith are both out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Cooper Hummel is making the start in left field and is batting seventh, while Chas McCormick is in right and is hitting eighth versus Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. This will be Altuve's first day off since June 10. The 35-year-old nine-time All-Star continues to produce despite moving to the outfield in 2025, as he's currently batting .280 (106-for-378) with 17 home runs, 53 RBI, 55 runs and six stolen bases. He's also been hot lately, going 13-for-36 (.361) with a homer, four doubles and three RBI in the last nine games over 14 days. Hummel has faded into more of a part-time role in Houston's outfield in recent weeks, with more playing time given to both McCormick and Taylor Trammell.

Houston Astros second baseman/outfielder Jose Altuve had a big game at the plate Sunday in a 5-1 defeat of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Altuve went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to help the Astros finish off a three-game sweep of the reigning World Series champions. The nine-time All-Star has started July on a tear, going 10-for-24 with three homers, 10 RBI, two doubles, a triple, nine runs scored, and four walks in six games. While Altuve's overall production isn't approaching an MVP level anymore, this has still been the latest in a long line of quality seasons for the 36-year-old. Altuve is slashing .272/.332/.457 with 16 HRs, 46 RBI, 48 runs, and six steals in 371 trips to the plate.

Houston Astros second baseman/outfielder Jose Altuve had three hits and hit a huge three-run homer in Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Athletics. Altuve left the game late after the Astros broke the game open but went 3-for-4 with two singles to go with his three-run blast, which came in the sixth inning off Tyler Ferguson as the Astros turned a 2-1 game into a 9-1 romp. Altuve has six multi-hit games in his last 11 contests and is hitting .349 over that span with four doubles, three homers, and a .446 wOBA. Altuve has anchored the middle of the Astros' lineup very effectively over the last few weeks, helping to compensate for the team's loss of Yordan Alvarez (hand). Over his last 26 games, he is hitting a robust .350 with a .426 wOBA and three stolen bases in four attempts.

Houston Astros outfielder Jose Altuve turned in a productive game in his team's 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Altuve went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, a run, two RBI, and a stolen base in the one-run win. The veteran notched one of the key at-bats of the game when he gave Houston a 2-1 lead with a two-run double in the third inning. Altuve is now hitting .275 with nine doubles, nine homers, 32 runs, 27 RBI, and six stolen bases across 255 at-bats for the Astros this season. He has fallen off since his prime and is more of a reserve option in deeper fantasy leagues these days.

Houston Astros outfielder Jose Altuve is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale in Cleveland against the Guardians. Rookie Jacob Melton will make the start in left field and will hit seventh against Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee. Altuve will get a day off after starting in each of the team's last 25 games. The 35-year-old nine-time All-Star and former MVP doesn't have excellent counting stats this year with nine homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and five stolen bases, but he has hit .328 with five of his nine home runs on the year in his last 17 games to raise his season slash line to .261/.306/.396 in 245 at-bats. However, the Venezuelan's xBA of .236 suggests there's more regression coming for the aging star. Melton, one of the team's top prospects, has gone 3-for-16 with two RBI, two runs and a steal in his first six MLB games.
