Valbuena exits with right hamstring strain

HOUSTON -- Astros third baseman Luis Valbuena left Tuesday night's game against the Yankees with a right hamstring strain. Valbuena is day to day, the team announced.

Facing a 3-1 count in the bottom of the second, Valbuena hit a slow chopper over the head of pitcher CC Sabathia. As the ball bounced into Didi Gregorius' glove, Valbuena stumbled as he was about halfway to first base.

Valbuena then fell to the ground, where he stayed for several minutes while being looked at by a trainer. The third baseman managed to walk off, but was noticeably limping and holding his leg.
