Fantasy Impact:
Altuve's knee has been bothering him since July. His numbers dipped in the second half and by the playoffs Altuve wasn't even able to play second base regularly. Manager A.J. Hinch said if it were the regular season Altuve wouldn't even have been playing. The good news is he's expected to be healthy by the start of spring training. He could therefore be a draft day value in fantasy due to his depressed numbers from this year.
