Exits early Wednesday Altuve was removed from Wednesday's game against Oakland with an apparent injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Altuve seemed to be in a bit of pain after taking a swing in the fifth inning of Wednesday's contest. After being checked out by a trainer, he remained in the game to finish his at-bat but then immediately went into the clubhouse and was replaced at second base to begin the sixth. The details and severity of his injury remain unknown, though any missed time would likely lead to increased playing time at second base for Mauricio Dubon.
