Astros Lose Two Key Players to Injury

The Houston Astros suffered a major blow to their lineup on Tuesday, as Jose Altuve and Michael Brantley were both injured. Altuve was scratched from the lineup due to left oblique discomfort, and Brantley was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder subluxation.

Altuve is one of the Astros’ best players, and his injury is a significant setback for the team. He is currently batting .275 with 10 home runs and 37 RBIs. Brantley is also a key part of the Astros’ lineup, and his injury is another blow to the team. He is currently batting .289 with 11 home runs and 43 RBIs.

The Astros are currently in first place in the American League West, but they will need Altuve and Brantley back in the lineup if they want to stay there. The team is already without Jeremy Peña, who is on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow fracture. Peña is expected to be out until at least mid-August.

The MRI results for Altuve are expected to be released on Wednesday. Hopefully, the injury is not serious and he will be able to return to the lineup soon.

In the meantime, the Astros will need other players to step up. Yuli Gurriel, Alex Bregman, and Kyle Tucker are all capable hitters, and they will need to carry the load in Altuve’s absence.

The Astros are a good team, but they will need to be at their best if they want to stay in first place without Altuve and Brantley. The next few weeks will be a test of the team’s depth, and it will be interesting to see how they respond.
