Manager Dusty Baker said the Astros will know Monday what the second baseman's status is...
on Sunday while dealing with an oblique issue that surfaced from an awkward swing he took during Friday’s game. Altuve ran and threw on the field Sunday morning, but did not hit.
Astros manager Dusty Baker described Altuve’s status as “day-to-day” and would not say whether he thought the second baseman would be available when the Astros begin a four-game series in Toronto on Monday. “Tomorrow’s a long ways off,” Baker said. “Toronto’s a long ways away. So we'll know tomorrow. And if not, we got Dubi . Dubi is doing the job, so it's not like we're in a completely dire situation. We're just glad to have him back, period.”
