16 seconds agoHouston Astros manager Joe Espada said that second baseman Jose Altuve has been working in left field for the last couple of weeks and is also still taking ground balls at second base. "I'm not going to commit to a number of games, but that's something that we are looking at to create some flexibility," Espada said. Even if the Astros don't re-sign third baseman Alex Bregman, which would likely push Isaac Paredes to second base, it sounds as though the team is considering using Altuve in the outfield in 2025. The 34-year-old Altuve holds Bregman in high regard, so he's fully on board with a position switch if it means Bregman returns to the organization. Although Altuve's defensive metrics have declined at the keystone, he has never played left field in his career. Altuve had just a .789 OPS in 2024 but did hit 20 homers and steal 22 bases. Adding outfield eligibility would be a slight boost to his fantasy value in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
