4 years agoHouston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has been diagnosed with a sprained right knee stemming from a slide into third base Thursday. Manager Dusty Baker made it clear that Altuve was out for Saturday and highly unlikely to play Sunday, pushing his absence into next week. The duo of Abraham Toro and Aledmys Diaz figure to cover for Altuve over the weekend, with both presenting appealing DFS options due to their respective price listings. Altuve has scuffled mightily by his standards in 2020 (.606 OPS), with his likely next chance at getting back into the fold coming Monday against Oakland.--Jesse Borek
