Overview

• Altuve started at second base, singled in the third inning, was forced out at second, and was removed before the bottom half of the inning.
• Ramón Urías replaced him defensively at second base in the bottom of the third.
• He ran off the field without a noticeable limp and was later seen in the dugout.
• Manager Joe Espada said Altuve reported right foot discomfort, was examined by a team doctor after the game, and no timetable or roster move was announced.
• The 35-year-old leads Houston in games, at-bats, hits and home runs, and his exit comes after a two-hit, 25th-homer game Friday during a month-long slump.
