Playing through minor leg issue Altuve will skip the upcoming All-Star Game due to a leg injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact The leg issue hasn't affected Altuve enough to make him miss the games that count in the standings, as he's sat just once in the Astros' last 12 games and is riding a six-game hitting streak. He'll elect to rest for the full four-day break rather than appear in his seventh career All-Star Game, but there's little reason to treat the injury as anything other than a very minor one unless it starts keeping him out of regular-season contests.

Gets rare day off Altuve is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Altuve will take a seat for the first time since May 14 after he went 2-for-5 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and an additional run in Wednesday's 13-0 trouncing of the Orioles. The Astros are in the midst of a stretch of 20 games in as many days, so manager Dusty Baker is likely just looking to manage Altuve's workload by holding him out Thursday. Robel Garcia will fill in for Altuve at second base, while center fielder Myles Straw serves as Houston's leadoff man.
