Jose Altuve Dropped To Seventh In Order Saturday
4 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will bat seventh in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Mariners and left-hander Nick Margevicius amidst a season-long slump that has seen him perform below expectations. The last time that Altuve began a game in the No. 7 spot in the order came back in 2011, his rookie year. His DFS price tag remains sky high despite his early-season malaise, in which he has compiled a .175/.250/.313 slash line. Until he begins to find his groove and move back up the order, owners can likely look elsewhere to invest, while most season-long owners will simply have to wait for him to heat up.
