2 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is getting the day off on Wednesday as the team takes on right-hander Brad Keller and the Kansas City Royals. Mauricio Dubon will be covering second base and leading off in the game. Altuve is off to a hot start to the month of July. Over his first five games of the month, he's gone 9-for-21 with two doubles, a homer, three RBI and four runs scored. The 32-year-old veteran has racked up 16 home runs, six stolen bases, 29 RBI and 43 runs over 65 games on the year to go along with a .278/.364/.528 slash line.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
