Jose Altuve (knee) leading off Wednesday for Astros
Houston Astros infielder Jose Altuve (knee) will start on second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's series finale against left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins.
What It Means:
Altuve was pulled early from Tuesday's game due to a knee problem, but he's good to go for the finale. The 33-year-old has hit safely in 16 of 18 games since returning from the injured list.
