McTaggart adds that the procedure to remove fluid from a wound between his toes was relatively minor in nature and Altuve is expected to be ready for the start of spring training. The veteran franchise cornerstone, who dealt with lingering right foot pain during the final two weeks of last season, split time between second base and left field during his age-35 campaign, hitting .265/.329/.442 with 26 homers and 10 steals over 155 games. He’s averaged 24 homers and 13 steals per-season for the last half-decade and has shown zero signs of slowing down as he approaches his late-30’s. He’ll be an early-round selection in all fantasy drafts next spring as a top-five option at the keystone.

He then smacked a two-run double in the fifth inning that pulled the Astros to within three runs at 6-3.

Altuve was also caught stealing for the sixth time, if you’re looking for a negative. His two homers were among the five that Houston hit in the shellacking, and he also doubled. In addition, he drew two walks while scoring a total of four runs. Probably best to not focus on that caught stealing, in our humble estimation. Altuve is now slashing .269/.331/.443 with 15 homers and 44 RBI.

It appears to be a routine off day for Altuve, who has started pretty much every game for Houston over the last three weeks. The 35-year-old veteran has also gone deep five times in his last 15 games. It’ll be top prospect Jacob Melton, who is 3-for-15 with one steal in six games since being called up from Triple-A Sugar Land, taking over in left field on Sunday afternoon in his place.

He went 0-for-1 with a walk before leaving. It’s worth noting that Altuve’s exit comes in a game where Houston is trailing by five runs, so there’s at least a chance this is precautionary. He’ll likely undergo some testing before Sunday’s finale, but it seems likely that the 35-year-old will be out of that lineup for at least that game. Brendan Rodgers has taken over at second base.

Altuve hit second behind Jeremy Peña again — with Peña going 2-for-4 and scoring a pair of runs in the contest — and it went well for the 34-year-old. He socked a two-run blast off Jack Flaherty that gave the Astros a 4-3 lead in the sixth, and he picked up his third RBI of the day with a fielder’s choice in the seventh. Altuve is now hitting .282/.316/.409 on the season, and while that’s a far cry from his best campaigns, it’s also far from unuseable as well.
