Jose Altuve Could Shift to Full-Time DH as Astros Evaluate Infield Options

Jose Altuve collected his 2,500th career hit Wednesday at Philadelphia, becoming the 103rd player in MLB history to reach the milestone and standing with Freddie Freeman as one of two active leaders. However, Altuve has struggled defensively at second base with -17 DRS and -11 OAA, ranking last among qualified second basemen. Reports suggest Houston is considering moving Altuve to regular DH duty if Carlos Correa is activated and played at second base.
