Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was forced to leave Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals in the bottom of the sixth inning with neck discomfort and is now day-to-day, according to Fox 26's Mark Berman.

"I'm not used to having this kind of stuff (with) my body and to come out of the game," Altuve said, per Berman. "So you have to be worried, but to be honest with you, I don't think it's something really, really bad."

Altuve has become one of the league's most valuable players over the past three seasons.
