Houston Astros star Jose Altuve appears to be having difficulty getting over the knee injury that has had him on the disabled list since July 29.
Per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle, the reigning American League MVP flew back to Houston on Sunday to have his knee re-evaluated.
Astros manager A.J. Hinch added that Altuve wouldn't be activated for the team's two-game series against the San Francisco Giants starting Monday.
"I think it feels like (a setback) only because we've eliminated San Francisco as a possibility," Hinch said.
