MIAMI (AP) — Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve left Tuesday’s 6-5 win over the Miami Marlins after fouling the game’s first pitch off his shin.
Altuve limped around the plate for a couple minutes before finishing the at-bat. He reached on an infield single and was forced out at second on Alex Bregman’s double-play grounder.
X-rays were negative and Altuve has a left knee contusion, the team said.
Manager Dusty Baker said Altuve was sore and will be evaluated ahead of Wednesday’s series finale.
“You could tell that it was pretty bad for him to come out the game,” Baker said.
The first-inning single was the 1,997th hit of Altuve’s career. Mauricio Dubon replaced him at second base.
Altuve had three hits and a walk in Monday’s 5-1 loss to Miami. He was named the AL Player of the Week earlier Monday.
Altuve didn’t debut this season until May 19 because he fractured his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic in March, an injury that required surgery.
He’s batting .326 with a .424 on-base percentage.
