Jose Altuve Returns to Astros Lineup After Dealing with Foot Injury

Jose Altuve is back in the starting lineup for the Houston Astros' Friday night game against the Seattle Mariners. Altuve had been dealing with a foot injury that kept him sidelined, but his return was confirmed by Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. His presence at the top of the order is a significant boost for the Astros as they face a divisional rival. The veteran second baseman will look to provide his usual spark and veteran leadership following the brief injury-related absence.
