A small sign of relief could be coming soon, Houston! Jose Altuve was cleared to throw and field on the diamond, but he can't swing the bat just yet, a month after thumb surgery.
Jose Altuve resumed some baseball activities this week, but there still isn't a timetable for when Houston's star second baseman will return to the team.
"I think right now it's hard to tell," Altuve said when asked if he knows when he'll return. "Anything is possible. I'm working really hard. I want to come back and help these guys to win, but we'll see. I think the next two weeks are really important in my rehab." "Obviously, it's really hard," he said. "It's something I didn't plan on, but things happen, and you can't really do anything about it. I'm just continuing to work hard every day with Jeremiah and try to come back to the field as quick as I can, but in the meantime, just keep watching these guys play amazing baseball.
"It's been hard on him to not play and not contribute and not to help us win. We just have to temper it some not to rush him as badly as we want to, and it's probably worse for him because he wants to get back again because he loves to play," Baker said. "We just have to be patient."
