Jose Altuve - 2B - Astros

Jose Altuve is out of the Astros' lineup Thursday against the Orioles due to an "aggravated groin."

At least that's what Astros manager Bo Porter is calling it. Consider Altuve day-to-day for now. Marwin Gonzalez will start in his place at second base on Thursday.

Jose Altuve is not in the Astros' starting lineup for Thursday's series finale with the Orioles.

It's just a routine day of maintenance for the star second baseman, who went 2-for-5 with a home run in Houston's defeat of Baltimore on Wednesday night. Marwin Gonzalez is getting the start at second on Thursday.

Jose Altuve went 2-for-5 with his third home run of the season, and the Astros beat the Orioles 11-7 on Wednesday.

The home run was Altuve's first since May 7 and one of six the Astros hit on the night. It also extended his modest hitting streak to eight games, with Wednesday's game the only one with multiple hits in that span. The second baseman is leading the Astros in hitting at .297.

Jose Altuve - 2B - Astros

Jose Altuve has dropped Scott Boras as his agent and has rejoined Scott Pucino and Wil Polidor of Octagon.

Altuve left Octagon about a year ago to align himself with Boras, but he has had a change of heart. The 23-year-old second baseman won't be arbitration-eligible for the first time until after the 2014 season and is under team control through 2017, so the Astros have plenty of time to discuss a potential extension. However, the switch from Boras to Octagon likely increases the chance of getting a deal done.

Jose Altuve went 3-for-5 against the Pirates on Saturday, his first game since May 13.

Altuve was on the bereavement list for the past five days, but it didn't show in his first game back. Altuve just continued to hit, raising his average to .342 in the process. The only reason he doesn't get the attention given to other star second basemen is the fact that he plays for the Astros. Fantasy players know his skill level.

Jose Altuve (jaw) told Astros manager Bo Porter that he would be ready to play on Tuesday.

Altuve suffered a subluxed right jaw when he collided with right fielder Jimmy Paredes on Monday. He was in a lot of pain after the collision but passed concussion tests and thinks he can play through the ailment. It's obviously great news for the Astros, as they can ill afford to be without their best hitter.

Jose Altuve has been diagnosed with a subluxed right jaw.

It's a nice way of saying that his jaw is partially dislocated. There's no word yet on how long the Astros expect him to be sidelined, but it seems like an injury that might require a disabled list stint. A clearer picture on his status should be available after the game.
