Jose Altuve's injury-plagued season continued.
The Houston Astros superstar left Tuesday's matchup against the Miami Marlins after fouling a pitch off his leg:
Matt Kawahara @matthewkawaharaJose Altuve is out of this game. Mauricio Dubón is at second base in the bottom of the first.
Ben DuBose @BenDuBoseGood capture. Fingers crossed <a href="https://t.co/kGF95qwGSb">https://t.co/kGF95qwGSb</a>
He originally remained in the game, beating the throw on an infield hit in the top of the first inning before later being removed:
Ben DuBose @BenDuBoseAssuming negative X-rays (not a given, but I wouldn't think Altuve would be able to run at moderate speed if something was broken), hopefully it's a situation where if you give him tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday (off day) to rest, he's fine by the Seattle series this weekend.
