Fantasy Impact:

Altuve took a Daniel Bard fastball off his hand in the fifth inning of the game. The Astros posted a press release stating that the team would provide an injury update tomorrow. If Altuve misses time, Mauricio Dubon would be in line to take over second-base duties in Houston, but he provides no fantasy value.
