2 years agoAccording to Jim Bowden of The Athletic, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (thumb) is "ahead of schedule," an update provided on Sunday by general manager Dana Brown. The 32-year-old hasn't played this season after fracturing his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic. Altuve is expected to return in June. However, he has "great movement and flexibility" in the thumb and will undergo an x-ray within the next few weeks to determine where he is in the recovery process. Altuve has remained productive despite his decade-plus length of service for the Astros. He finished last season with a .300 average with 158 hits, 57 RBI, and 28 home runs in 527 at-bats. Fantasy managers should stay patient and optimistic, as the veteran could return sooner than expected. Keep him stashed.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
