HOUSTON -- The decision to move franchise icon Jose Altuve to left field this season didn’t mean the nine-time All-Star second baseman wouldn’t see playing time at his original position at select times for the Astros this season.
After starting in left field against the Mets in the first three games of the season, Altuve was back at his familiar second base position for Monday’s series-opening 7-2 loss to the Giants at Daikin Park -- the position in which he had started 1,749 games entering the series against San Francisco.
