Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was removed from Wednesday's game in the third inning against the Rockies. Altuve exited with right hamstring soreness.
Altuve had to leave the game on Friday and missed the next three games with the hamstring issue. And while he was able to return for Tuesday's action, he apparently was not at full-health on Wednesday.
Manager A.J. Hinch indicated Altuve would not play on Thursday, according to the Houston Chronicle.
"He didn't look great yesterday, he didn't look great today," Hinch said. "I didn't want to see anymore. We've got to be so cautious with him, especially here at the high altitude. I don't think he felt great, and I had seen enough and wanted to get him out of the game. I want to err on the side of caution with him."
