3 years agoHouston Astros' second baseman Jose Altuve exited Friday's game against the Nationals as a precaution after slipping on the grass. He was replaced by Niko Goodrum in the bottom of the ninth inning. According to manager Dusty Baker, Altuve was scheduled for a day off on Saturday. The 32-year-old went 1-for-4 with a solo homer before leaving the game. Altuve is slashing .250/.345/.500 with six home runs, 10 RBI, 13 runs, and two stolen bases over 87 plate appearances. Goodrum is expected to draw the start at second base on Saturday, but fantasy managers can avoid using him as a streamer after he slashed .128/.171/.179 in 2022.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
