ATLANTA — The Houston Astros<\/a> held nine-time All-Star Jose Altuve<\/a> out of Sunday’s lineup against the Atlanta Braves<\/a> after he left their game a night earlier with discomfort in his right foot.<\/p>\n

Astros manager Joe Espada said Altuve was being examined by doctors again Sunday because the second baseman remained “pretty sore.”<\/p>\n

Espada described the discomfort as “the bottom of his foot, closer to his toes. … Hopefully it’s not a big issue.”<\/p>\n

Espada said Altuve planned to test the foot “and see if he’s able to go” off the bench against the Braves.<\/p>\n

Altuve singled to right field in the third inning of Saturday night’s 6-2 win over Atlanta before he was forced out at second on a grounder hit by Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez<\/a>. He reported the discomfort when he returned to the dugout and was removed from the game.<\/p>\n

The Astros entered Sunday’s schedule tied with Seattle<\/a> for first place in the AL West.<\/p>\n

Altuve, 35, is hitting .264 with 25 homers and 70 RBIs.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Dub\u00f3n<\/a> started at second base in the finale of the three-game series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sep 14, 2025, 12:20 PM ET ATLANTA — The Houston Astros held nine-time All-Star Jose Altuve out of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-143057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
