The Houston Astros had a bit of a scare in Oakland earlier today in their series opener against the Athletics. Star second basemen Jose Altuve collided with Oakland’s first baseman Christian Bethancourt. According to Danielle Lerner, reporter for the Houston Chronicle, ‘Stros manager Dusty Baker did not like what he saw after his leadoff hitter banged into Bethancourt.
Dusty Baker said Jose Altuve “didn’t look too good in the eyes” when he came back to the dugout after his seventh-inning collision. Altuve is being evaluated for concussion protocol and Baker is unsure if he’ll play tomorrow.
