For the most part it has been a tough year for the Houston Astros but the play of second baseman Juse Altuve has been one of the positives for the team. Houston may be without Altuve for a few days after he suffered a strained hamstring Sunday against the Indians.
Jose Altuve left today's game with a right hamstring strain.
