Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was replaced by Mauricio Dubón after apparently injuring himself on a swing.

Despite finishing the at-bat after an evaluation by the Astros training staff, where Altuve struck out on a foul bunt, he did not return to the game. In postgame, Altuve elaborated that he felt "something," on the right side during post game interviews.

The Houston Astros will try to break a three-game slide Thursday. They’ll do so without Jose Altuve. Houston’s All-Star second baseman was held out of the lineup less than 24 hours after being removed from Wednesday’s game in the fifth inning due to right-side discomfort.
