Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve produced two hits going 2-for-4 in a loss Saturday to the Toronto Blue Jays. He also added a pair of walks and ended up striking out once. In 47 Houston games, the 31-year-old is batting .306 with eight home runs and 26 RBI. Altuve has struck out 30 times and has swiped two bags in 2021. The veteran second baseman is a crucial component to any fantasy gamers team he is in their lineup.--Andrew Lennox - RotoBaller

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk, two runs, and a stolen base in a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Altuve ripped a solo homer off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert in the sixth inning, a shot that traveled 402 feet with an exit velocity of 107 MPH. The veteran is off to a fast start in 2025, hitting .357 with three homers, nine runs, five RBI, and two steals across 42 at-bats. Altuve isn't the top fantasy asset he was earlier in his career but he is still worth a start in favorable matchups moving forward.--Matt T - RotoBaller

Houston Astros outfielder Jose Altuve has returned to second base and will bat leadoff for the Astros for the series opener on Monday against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Jordan Hicks at Daikin Park. It will be the first time that Altuve is back at the keystone after starting the first three games last week against the New York Mets in left field. The 34-year-old veteran is expected to see most of his playing time in left in 2025, but he'll still occasionally pick up some starts at second base. With Altuve at second, Mauricio Dubon is in left field and is batting eighth. Altuve is off to an excellent start this year after his position switch, going 5-for-11 with a run scored, a walk and four strikeouts in three games against the New York Mets last week. He should remain in all starting fantasy lineups. Altuve is hitless with an RBI in just three career at-bats versus Hicks.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will play "most of his games" in left field in 2025, manager Joe Espada said on Wednesday. The skipper left the door open for things to change due to injuries and good performances in the minor leagues, but Espada made it clear that Altuve will open the year as the team's primary left fielder. While nothing had really been official until now, this was the expectation all along for the 34-year-old veteran after he has spent all his time playing left field in spring training. As a result, Mauricio Dubon figures to see most of the starts at second base for Houston to begin the season. While Father Time will eventually catch up to Altuve, the nine-time All-Star, former MVP, seven-time Silver Slugger winner, three-time batting champ and two-time World Series champ deserves the benefit of the doubt as a high-end fantasy second baseman that is adding value with outfield eligibility.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Houston Astros have been pleased with how second baseman Jose Altuve has looked while playing the outfield in spring training. "[He's done] enough for me to feel good about playing left field," manager Joe Espada said. Even though the Astros didn't re-sign Alex Bregman in the offseason, the Astros are going forward with their plan to move the 34-year-old Venezuelan second baseman to left field on a full-time basis in 2025. The early returns defensively have been positive for Altuve, and the eventual addition of outfield eligibility in fantasy will make him an even more attractive fantasy option this year despite the fact that he isn't getting any younger. Altuve is a top-three fantasy second baseman as a former MVP, nine-time All-Star, seven-time Silver Slugger winner and three-time batting champion. He dealt with injuries in 2023 but bounced back last year to post a 20-20 season while hitting .295.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
