Jose Altuve Expected to Play Despite Hamstring Tightness for Astros

Jose Altuve has been a key player for the Astros, starting all 37 games this season. He has a batting average of .259 with 4 home runs and 14 RBIs. His performance at home has been stronger, with a .285 average and 2 home runs.

The upcoming game against the Kansas City Royals might see changes in the lineup if Altuve's status affects his play. Players like Zach Dezenzo and Mauricio Dubón may see shifts in their roles. Altuve's recent absence against the Reds shows he may sit out games if needed to recover.
