INJURIES

Tallies first hit Altuve went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk Saturday against the Athletics.
Impact Altuve started his second game since returning from a thumb injury and led off the contest with a double before coming around to score. He also worked a two-out walk in the seventh inning, and he has earned a free pass in each of his appearances this season. Altuve will be a fixture atop Houston's order moving forward.

Hitless in season debut Altuve went 0-for-4 with a walk Friday against the Athletics.
Impact 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 return to knock off the rust due to his extended absence, but it's clear he'll occupy a clear role on the team.

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.
Impact 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 need some extra days off initially, but Altuve nonetheless should be re-inserted into fantasy lineups.

Making season debut Friday Altuve was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Astros on Friday.
Impact 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.

Impact 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, it appears very likely that he'll be hitting at or near the top of the Houston lineup by the end of the week, and that should be welcome news to fantasy managers who carry Altuve on their respective rosters.

Rehab moving to Texas League Altuve (thumb) will move his rehab assignment to Double-A Corpus Christi for the next few games, Michael Connor of SportsTalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact 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 than performance. The 33-year-old infielder will likely need a few more games before he's ready, and he could rejoin the Astros for their weekend series against the Athletics in Houston.

Hitless in first rehab game Altuve (thumb) went 0-for-4 and played seven innings for Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.
Impact Altuve said after the game that he plans to play tomorrow, and that his timing is still off which is to be expected, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. The infielder got his first action since breaking his thumb during the World Baseball Classic back in March, and the most important thing is that he's finally getting reps after missing two-plus months. Altuve will likely need a few more rehab games, but it appears likely he'll be playing for the Astros and hitting at the top of the lineup at some point next week.

Starting rehab assignment Altuve (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Out all season following surgery to repair a fractured right thumb, Altuve resumed baseball activities last week and has progressed to the point of being game-ready. There's no word on how long his rehab assignment will last, but knowing Altuve he'll probably push to return as soon as possible.

Taking live BP in Triple-A Altuve (thumb) is taking live batting with Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Altuve continues to get closer to returning to the field for the Astros and is not far away from starting a rehab stint. The infielder has missed the first month-plus of action with his broken thumb, and it looks like he's going to make his return to the diamond more quickly than anticipated. There's a very good chance that Altuve is hitting at the top of the Houston lineup close to the middle of May.

May be week away from minors games Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Altuve (thumb) could be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment "within a week or so, maybe, as long as he continues to pr...
Impact Despite undergoing surgery to repair his fractured right thumb March 22, Altuve looks like he could be on pace for a return from the 10-day injured list in fewer than two months. He took batting practice for the second consecutive day Sunday and also took part in fielding work and baserunning drills. Mauricio Dubon has been holding down the fort at the keystone all season while Altuve has been on the shelf, but Dubon is expected to move into more of a utility role once the eight-time All-Star completes his rehab assignment and is deemed ready for his 2023 MLB debut.

Hits again, progressing rapidly Altuve (thumb) took batting practice, fielded grounders and did some running Sunday in Seattle, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Astros' decision not to place Altuve on the 60-day injured list to begin the season after he underwent surgery March 22 on his right thumb appears to be a wise one, as the 33-year-old looks like he'll have a chance at being ready to make his season debut well before late May. As Chandler Rome of The Athletic notes, Altuve slugged about six home runs in batting practice Sunday, which seemingly suggests that his power hasn't been compromised even though he had surgery on his dominant hand. The Astros haven't outlined when Altuve might be ready for a rehab assignment, but it could happen as soon as the upcoming week.

Takes first batting practice Altuve (thumb) took batting practice Saturday in Seattle, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Altuve has been out since he broke his thumb while playing in the WBC in late March, but Saturday's limited action is a big step in his recovery. The second baseman is on the 60-day injured list and is first eligible to return May 25 and is set to undergo imaging on the injured finger soon. Barring any negative test results, Altuve could be nearing a rehab assignment in the next couple weeks.

Impact Altuve told reporters that the next two weeks of his rehab are "really important." The infielder has missed all of the 2023 season after breaking his right thumb during the World Baseball Classic, and he isn't eligible to return to the field for the Astros until May 29 since he was placed on the 60-day injured list retroactive to March 29. It's a positive sign that Altuve is able to start fielding grounders and potentially grip, but there's still a ways to go before he's deemed ready to contribute for Houston and fantasy teams again.
