Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is not in Monday's lineup against the Minnesota Twins.
The reason for Altuve's absence on Monday isn't yet known. He'll end a streak of appearing in 202 consecutive games. Marwin Gonzalez -- and his .303 wOBA this season -- will replace Altuve at second base and hit sixth.
Altuve is having a monster season, slashing .356/.423/.567 with 19 home runs, 25 stolen bases, a .415 wOBA (third-best) and the best nERD at 4.38. We project him to hit .311/.373/.489 with six taters, nine steals and a .371 wOBA over the rest of the year.
