Jose Altuve, trying to work his way back to the Houston Astros’ lineup, is in the Friday lineup for the Sugar Land Space Cowboys as his rehab stint begins.
Altuve had been on the 10-day injured list since April 19 with a left hamstring strain after getting hurt running down the baseline in the eighth inning of the Astros’ home opener on April 18.
The Space Cowboys are currently on the road - their game tonight is in Oklahoma City with game time at 7:05 p.m. Altuve is slated to bat second in the lineup behind Pedro León.
