2023 Fantasy Outlook
One of these years, Altuve will let us down, but 2022 was not the year, as he had his best season by wRC+ by repeating his four-category volume, albeit not in the way anyone predicted. Houston's issues at the bottom of the lineup limited Altuve's opportunities to their rebuilding years levels, but the 18 steals in 19 attempts was a huge surprise after his three-year run of 16 for 24 on the bases. He was one of four players (Berti, Andrus, Marte) to swipe at least 18 bases at age 32, and for the first time since 2017 we have seen more than two players swipe that many bases. The changes in the rules may help Altuve's steals hold up another season, but treat double-digit steals as a bonus. The lineup around him and the home ballpark insulate him somewhat from the aging curve that he continues to evade. The physical similarities could raise the same age concerns that beset Dustin Pedroia at this age, but that is likely the only way he gets remotely discounted in drafts this season.

Out again Sunday
Altuve (oblique) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Angels, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Altuve will get another game off while he deals with "something" he felt in his oblique while swinging the bat against the Angels on Friday. The Astros are calling his absence from the last two games precautionary, and they haven't scheduled any sort of imaging at this point. While Altuve recovers, Mauricio Dubon is hitting at the top of the lineup and playing second base. It remains to be seen whether Altuve will be back in action for Monday's contest against the Blue Jays, but for now the infielder should be considered day-to-day.

Altuve showed 2020 was just a short season anomaly by tying his career high with 31 homers, though he needed 130 more plate appearance than 2019. Altuve's reliance on the Crawford Boxes to maintain power grew as he posted one of the shortest average fly ball distances of anyone with at least 30 long balls with all but one of his home runs to the pull side. A career high FB% helped drive power, but dropped his BABIP to .280, second lowest to the prior year's .250 mark. Altuve's 13.4 K% was ninth best among qualified hitters, yet his .278 average was only higher than 2020's .219. At some point, Altuve's dependence on Minute Maid Park with be a bug, it's still a feature, hitting atop a potent lineup in a park built for his approach and swing. Be wary of losing more batting average points as his foot speed further declines (down to 72nd percentile spring speed), and of course the steals aren't coming back.
