Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday because of a left hamstring strain.
Infielder J.J. Matijevic was selected in a corresponding roster move.
The 31-year-old exited Houston's game against the Los Angeles Angels on April 18 with a hamstring injury. Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters at the time that he was considered day-to-day.
Through the early part of the 2022 season, Altuve has been off to a slow start. Through the first nine games, he's batting just .167 with one home run and three RBI.
