Overview

  • Altuve exited in the third inning after being forced out at second following a single, then remained in the dugout as he was checked by medical staff.
  • Manager Joe Espada said Altuve reported his foot bothering him after running the bases and was removed as a precaution.
  • Reporters on site noted he left the field without a noticeable limp; Ramón Urías took over defensively, and Altuve declined a postgame interview but was seen walking in the clubhouse.
  • The Astros describe his status as day-to-day with additional monitoring planned, and no injured list move has been made.
  • His availability carries weight in a tight AL West race, as he leads Houston in games played this season and is batting .264 with 25 home runs and 70 RBIs.
