Altuve got the Astros on the board in the opening inning with a sacrifice fly that tied the score at 1-1. He then smacked a two-run double in the fifth inning that pulled the Astros to within three runs at 6-3. The 35-year-old outfielder also drove in the game-tying run with an RBI knock off of Hunter Gaddis in the eighth inning. That would be the extent of their scoring, however. With his two-hit attack, Altuve is now hitting .272/.332/.456 with 16 homers, 50 RBI and six stolen bases (in 12 attempts) on the season.

Meyers is back patrolling center field and batting second on Wednesday night at Daikin Park following a two-game absence due to right calf tightness. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, especially with the extended All-Star break coming up in a few days.

Javier is working his way back from Tommy John and is about a week behind his teammate, Luis Garcia, who is recovering from the same injury. Garcia moved from live batting practice to a two-inning rehab start in the Florida Complex League, so we should expect a similar path for Javier. At this rate, Javier could return to the starting rotation or a piggyback “bulk follower” role by early August.

Loperfido has now started four straight games since being called up from Triple-A and is 5-for-11 in his first three games with one home run, one run, five RBI, and two strikeouts. The 26-year-old drastically reduced his strikeout rate in Triple-A this season thanks to a more selective approach. He still swings and misses a little more than you’d like, but he has the power to make up for it and that could make him an intriguing gamble in deeper formats right now.
