Altuve left Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to a left knee contusion, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After fouling the first pitch of Tuesday's game off his left leg, Altuve remained in the game to finish his at-bat, logged an infield single and was replaced at second base by Mauricio Dubon. X-rays on Altuve's knee came back negative, and the 33-year-old second baseman should be considered day-to-day going forward.

Altuve was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altuve fouled a ball off his shin during the first inning but stayed in the game to finish his at-bat and legged out an infield single. Mauricio Dubon entered the game in the bottom of the first inning in Altuve's place at second base. The fact Altuve was able to complete his plate appearance is a good sign that his injury isn't serious, but the Astros should offer more details in the near future.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a steal in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After his 14-game hitting streak ended Sunday, Altuve bounced back with a three-hit effort in Monday's series opener with the Marlins, his fifth multi-hit game in his last six contests. Since returning from the IL on July 26, Altuve's gone 29-for-68 (.426) with nine extra-base hits and seven stolen bases in 17 games. Overall, the 33-year-old second baseman's slashing an outstanding .323/.422/.545 with nine homers, 43 runs scored and 28 RBI across 223 plate appearances this season while going 12-for-14 in stolen base attempts.

EDGE Analysis

Altuve recorded hits in two of his first three at-bats but was left stranded on each occasion. He then added a solo homer in the top of the seventh and a double in the ninth, helping to bring the Astros back within one run of Baltimore on each occasion. With the four-hit performance the second baseman is now batting .400 in August with two homers, five RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases. He's also tallied at least three hits in back-to-back games.

Altuve went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran second baseman extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a vintage performance that included his 11th steal of the season. Over that stretch, Altuve is slashing .378/.451/.578 with two homers, six pilfers, six RBI and 13 runs as he tries to make up for lost time -- he's missed 71 of the Astros' 115 games so far this season due primarily to thumb and oblique injuries.

Altuve is getting a planned day of rest Wednesday versus the Guardians, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mauricio Dubon will start at second base and hit leadoff. Altuve went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in the Astros' win over Cleveland on Tuesday and boasts a .364/.440/.591 batting line in 25 plate appearances since he returned July 26 from a three-week absence for a left oblique injury.

Altuve went 1-for-2 with three walks, two runs and two stolen bases in a 7-3 victory versus the Guardians on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Altuve began the Astros' half of the first inning with a bunt single and a stolen base to set the tone for a healthy stat line that included his first multi-steal game of the campaign. The veteran second baseman hadn't been running much prior to Monday, as he hadn't swiped a bag over his previous 11 contests. However, Altuve has been hitting well since returning from the injured list July 26, going 7-for-18 with a homer, two RBI, five runs and three walks over five games.

Altuve went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Altuve tallied his first home run since returning from the injured list July 26. Though it came off catcher Rene Pinto, Altuve now has hits in back-to-back games after going hitless in the first contest he was activated. He's returned to his customary spot atop the Astros' order and is likely to remain there for the rest of the season.

Altuve (oblique) went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 13-5 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Altuve played five innings at second base, though his removal was likely due to the Rangers leading by 10 runs to start the sixth. He went 9-for-27 in the seven games prior to his three-week stint on the injured list, but he may have rust to shake off. Altuve owns a .258/.363/.468 slash line with six home runs, 18 RBI, 25 runs scored and five stolen bases through 33 contests. He should be a near-everyday option at second base over utility man Mauricio Dubon.

Altuve (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Altuve has missed nearly three weeks of action due to left oblique soreness, but he's been working out lately with no issues and will return to the Astros' lineup without a rehab assignment. The veteran second baseman will carry a .264/.371/.479 batting line with six home runs and five stolen bases over 32 games into action Wednesday.
