GM: Astros Won\'t Rush Back Ailing Jose Altuve 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jul 6, 2023 1:26 pm

Jose Altuve sat out a second straight game Wednesday after injuring his left oblique in batting practice Tuesday.

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown said he doesn\'t believe the injury is serious and the team will decide on its next step for Altuve after reviewing an MRI.

\"I don\'t think there\'s any rush to bring him back,\" Brown said. \"I\'ve talked about this before with the obliques of some of the other players. These injuries are really complicated, and so sometimes the best thing is rest. And so I think right now it would be my opinion, strong opinion, as to just giving him some rest and let it play out.\"
