LOS ANGELES — Jose Altuve was not in the Astros’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers due to a sore heel, according to manager Dusty Baker.
Baker said Altuve hurt his heel when he hit first base on a bunt single in Saturday’s fifth inning. Altuve took a long final stride and hit the bag with his right foot on the play. Baker said Altuve likely wouldn’t be available off the bench Sunday. “We’ll see how he is,” Baker said. “That off day helps tomorrow. Hopefully, he’s better in St. Louis.”
Altuve missed the first 43 games this season with a broken thumb and missed four games in early June with an oblique injury. He struck three hits on Saturday and is batting .263 with a .775 OPS in 114 plate appearances this season. Mauricio Dubón drew a start Sunday at second base and in the leadoff spot. Yainer Diaz was also not in the lineup. Baker noted that Diaz had played in 12 straight games; Diaz started 11 of those, eight at DH.
