Report: Astros' Altuve (knee) day-to-day after MRI

Altuve has struggled at the plate this season, hitting .224 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 35 games. The 2017 AL MVP is a lifetime .312 hitter with 131 homers, 550 RBIs and 256 stolen bases in 1,278 games with the Astros since 2011.

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is considered day-to-day after he had an MRI on his right knee, MLB Network's Jon Morosi reported Friday. That's good news for the six-time All-Star and three-time American League batting champion, who had surgery on the same knee at the end of the 2018 season.

Altuve, 30, was apparently injured while sliding awkwardly into first base in the first inning of Thursday's 8-4 win against the Texas Rangers in Houston. Altuve has struggled at the plate this season, hitting .224 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 35 games.
