Astros' Jose Altuve: Belts grand slam in loss
Altuve went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 10-inning loss to the Twins.
Altuve temporarily turned the game around with his seventh-inning grand slam, giving Houston its first lead of the game. However, Minnesota eventually prevailed after the game went to an extra frame. Altuve missed the first seven weeks of the campaign after fracturing his thumb in the World Baseball Classic, but he hasn't missed a beat upon his return. He's hit safely in seven straight games and is slashing .355/.444/.645 with two homers, six RBI and seven runs overall through 36 plate appearances.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Out of lineup Wednesday
Altuve (illness) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.
After exiting Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Brewers early due to an illness, Altuve will remain on the bench Wednesday in Milwaukee. The Astros have a day off Thursday, so Altuve will have an extra day to rest up ahead of Houston's three-game series with Oakland starting Friday. Mauricio Dubon will draw the start at second base and bat leadoff in the series finale with the Brewers.

Altuve is still being evaluated, but his removal from the contest was deemed precautionary, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. The second baseman went 1-for-3 before being replaced by Mauricio Dubon. Altuve should be considered day-to-day with a chance to return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Milwaukee.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Hitless in season debut
Altuve went 0-for-4 with a walk Friday against the Athletics.
Altuve made his season debut after returning from a thumb injury and immediately occupied the leadoff spot in the order. He failed to reach base in each of his first four plate appearances but did manage to earn a walk in the bottom of the eighth inning. It may take a few games for Altuve to knock off the rust from his extended absence.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Batting leadoff in return
Altuve is starting at second base and batting leadoff for the Astros in his season debut Friday against the Athletics, Mark Berman of FOX 26 reports.
We're exactly two months removed from Altuve suffering a fractured right thumb during World Baseball Classic play. He went just 2-for-22 during a rehab assignment and might be eased back into action with extra days off, but Altuve nonetheless should be re-inserted into fantasy lineups in most formats.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Making season debut Friday
Altuve was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Astros on Friday.
Altuve appeared to still be searching for his timing while on his rehab assignment, as he went just 2-for-22 (both singles) in five games with Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land. However, the most important thing is his surgically repaired right thumb is a non-issue and he feels ready to rejoin his teammates. It's possible Altuve will receive some extra days off initially as he eases back into things, but fantasy managers certainly want to get him back into their lineups.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Could return Friday
Altuve (thumb) will appear in a rehab game Wednesday for Double-A Christi before potentially being reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Houston's game Friday versus Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Altuve has struggled thus far in his rehab stint with a .056 average over 18 at-bats, but the reps are far more important than the results at this stage. Even if the 33-year-old needs an extra couple of days, he looks like he's on pace to rejoin the Houston lineup for his season debut at some point over the weekend. Mauricio Dubon has been serving as the primary replacement at second base for Altuve this season and would presumably move into a utility role once Altuve is activated.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Rehab moving to Texas League
Altuve (thumb) will move his rehab assignment to Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, Michael Connor of SportsTalk 790 Houston reports.
Altuve has just two hits in his 13 at-bats in his rehab assignment thus far, but his movement to Double-A has everything to do with proximity and weather. The 33-year-old infielder will likely need a few more games before he's ready, and he could return from the 10-day injured list to make his season debut for the Astros as soon as this weekend's series with the Athletics.
