Jose Altuve is expected to miss 8-10 weeks due to a broken right thumb. (Bob Nightengale on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Altuve was hit by a pitch in the World Baseball Classic on Saturday and exited the game immediately. We now have confirmation that it is indeed a broken thumb, and Altuve will be out until at least mid-to-late May. Mauricio Dubon is likely to take over at second base while Altuve is out.
