Altuve signed a five-year, $125 million contract extension with the Astros on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Altuve's extension ensures he will remain as Houston's second baseman through the 2029 season. Altuve slashed .311/.393/.522 with 17 homers and 51 RBI across 410 plate appearances last season while stealing 14 bags. He missed a significant amount of time at the beginning of the year due to a fractured right thumb and later battled an oblique injury, but the 33-year-old has shown no signs of slowing down entering his 14th big-league campaign.

Altuve went 1-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Altuve made headlines with five home runs combined between Sept. 4 and 5, and he continued his power production Sunday by belting his sixteenth long ball of the season. He has hit extremely well overall since returning from an oblique injury July 26, maintaining a .348 batting average with 10 homers, 24 RBI, 41 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 40 games.
