BREAKING: Astros’ Star Second Baseman José Altuve Sidelined with Injury After Mets Game
Houston, TX – In a devastating blow to the Houston Astros, All-Star second baseman José Altuve has been confirmed injured after undergoing tests today. The news comes on the heels of Wednesday’s game against the New York Mets, where Altuve was forced to exit early due to discomfort.
According to sources within the organization, Altuve’s tests revealed a grade 2 hamstring strain, which is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks. The Astros’ medical staff will continue to monitor his progress, but the initial prognosis is not optimistic.
Altuve, a six-time All-Star and three-time batting champion, has been an integral part of the Astros’ success in recent years. His absence will undoubtedly be felt in the lineup, and the team will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void.
The Astros have announced that infielder Mauricio Dubón will be recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to provide depth at second base during Altuve’s absence. Fans will be keeping a close eye on Altuve’s recovery, hoping for a speedy return to the field.
