Ain’t nobody mentioned Altuve and Alvarez returning to the lineup for the AstrosMax Fried is probably going to make 1 more rehab start before being activated. ETA on Kyle Wright appears to be early September. Best team in baseball will be getting their top 2 pitchers back in time for the home stretch and playoffs![]()
Look at Altuve’s slash lines every season since the trash can scandal and that will tell you why I didn’t mention him. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that 3 of his worst hitting seasons since his rookie year have all been post scandal.Ain’t nobody mentioned Altuve and Alvarez returning to the lineup for the Astros
