Jose Altuve left the game tonight due to right foot discomfort. He was removed in the third inning after complaining about his foot bothering him, following a run around the bases. The Astros took him out as a precaution while he is being evaluated by medical staff. The specifics of the injury were not immediately clear, but the update appears somewhat encouraging. Manager Joe Espada said they want to keep an eye on the condition and see how it progresses. Altuve remained in the dugout during the game but did not comment afterward. This is a significant concern for the Astros as Altuve is a key player in their tight playoff race.
