Fantasy Impact:
The Astros requested that Altuve skip the WBC and instead be with the team throughout Spring Training. The request certainly stems from Altuve missing the first 43 games of the 2023 season after breaking his thumb on a hit by pitch at the 2023 WBC. Altuve's Astros teammate, Carlos Correa, will also skip the WBC due to insurance issues with his contract. Altuve suited up in 155 games for the club last season and is reportedly healthy for spring training after undergoing a foot procedure in November.
