Astros put Jose Altuve on injured list with hamstring strain
Houston second baseman Jose Altuve was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left hamstringAPRIL 20, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sent to injured list The Astros placed Altuve (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact Though general manager James Click relayed earlier Wednesday that imaging conducted on Altuve's strained left hamstring didn't reveal anything overly concerning, the 31-year-old will still be deactivated for at least the next week and a half while he waits for his left leg to fully heal. Click suggested a minimum-length IL stay could be in play for Altuve, but that will likely be contingent on the seven-time All-Star being able to run the bases and field his position without any discomfort within the next few days. The Astros will likely lean on a combination of Aledmys Diaz and Niko Goodrum to pick up starts at the keystone while Altuve is on the mend.

Won't start Wednesday Altuve will remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Altuve's absence from the lineup for the second day in a row was fully expected after general manager James Click told SportsTalk 790 Houston earlier Wednesday that the 2017 American League MVP could require a brief stint on the injured list, even though an MRI on his strained left hamstring Tuesday revealed "really good results." Aledmys Diaz filled in for Altuve in Tuesday's 7-2 loss, and he and Niko Goodrum will likely end up seeing most of the work at the keystone if Altuve is forced to the IL.

Impact The Astros may wait a day or two to see what kind of improvement, if any, Altuve makes, but a brief stay on the IL may be what's best for the 31-year-old as he looks to avoid an aggravation of the hamstring injury that would sideline him for an even longer period of time. Aledmys Diaz filled in at second base for Altuve in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Angels and looks to be first in line to replace the 2017 American League MVP, though utility man Niko Goodrum could also be an option to see added playing time.

Won't return Wednesday Altuve (hamstring) won't play Tuesday or Wednesday against the Angels, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Altuve left Monday's game with a strained left hamstring and was sent for an MRI on Tuesday. The results of that test are not yet known, but he'll get at least three days off, as the Astros have scheduled day off Thursday. Aledmys Diaz will likely receive another start at second base Wednesday.

Not starting Tuesday Altuve (hamstring) will not start Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Impact Altuve underwent an MRI on Tuesday after exiting Monday's game with a strained left hamstring. The results of that MRI are not yet public, but he'll evidently need to miss at least one game. Aledmys Diaz takes over at second base, the role he'd likely handle on an everyday basis if Altuve heads to the injured list.

Heading for MRI Altuve (hamstring) is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact Altuve left Monday's game against the Angels with a strained left hamstring. Initial reports indicated that he was merely considered day-to-day, but his MRI could reveal a more serious issue. If that's the case, expect to see Aledmys Diaz step into a starting role at second base.

Diagnosed with hamstring strain Altuve is being considered day-to-day with a left hamstring strain, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Altuve was unable to finish Monday's contest after stepping awkwardly on first base in an effort to beat out an infield single, though he appears to have avoided a significant injury. The team will likely re-evaluate the star second baseman in the morning to determine his status for Tuesday's matchup. Aledmys Diaz figures to see time at the keystone if Altuve is unable to go.
