Jose Altuve joining Astros' bench Wednesday
Houston Astros infielder Jose Altuve is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against right-hander Brad Keller and the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
Altuve extended his hitting streak to five games on Tuesday, but the Astros appear to be giving him a breather a day later. Mauricio Dubon is filling the void on second base and in the leadoff spot.
numberFire’s models project Dubon for 9.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total (4.62) is 10th out of 28 active teams.
