Jose Altuve will make his Grapefruit League debut in left field for the Astros on Friday against the Cardinals, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
Fantasy Impact:
Altuve has never played left field in professional baseball, but he's been preparing for the transition throughout spring training. With Houston looking to optimize its lineup, the veteran's shift to the outfield could provide more flexibility. Altuve remains a key offensive piece after slashing .295/.350/.439 with 20 home runs and 22 stolen bases last season, and his ability to adapt defensively will be a storyline to watch heading into 2025.
