Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is not starting for the second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury.
Altuve sustained the tweak on Friday, though it's not a serious injury. Altuve is expected to be back in the Astros lineup this week. This season, Altuve is hitting .290 with 27 RBI.
"He'll be day to day for the next couple days until he feels back to 100 percent," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said Saturday, via MLB.com. "But I know he and our trainer were encouraged by how he was evaluated today. We avoided a worse injury."
