The Houston Astros will be without their star second baseman for the immediate future.
According to Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest, the Astros placed Jose Altuve on the injured list Saturday with a right knee sprain. The move was retroactive to Friday.
Altuve played in Houston's win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday but was replaced in the third inning.
Few players in baseball can match Altuve's resume.
The 30-year-old has an American League MVP Award, five Silver Slugger Awards, six All-Star selections, three batting titles, a Gold Glove and a World Series crown.
