While Jose Altuve is still off the roster and out of the lineup, the All-Star second baseman confirmed that he was the Houston Astros‘ player that tested positive for COVID-19. In his absence, Dusty Baker has tested the waters with multiple hitters at the leadoff spot, but Carlos Correa looked the most effective.
As the lineup performed well on Saturday, the Astros ran up 16 runs to the Los Angeles Angels‘ two.
