Jose Altuve revealed why he's sitting out the All-Star Game and it should excite Houston Astros fans.
fans around the world held their breath. Fortunately, it doesn't seem too big of an issue, despite having a horrible swollen and bruised hand during their last three games.. It's the right thing to do from his perspective, but it's always tough to see a player earn something and not be able to receive the benefits of it because of an injury.
“Obviously, we have a very important second half of the season and I want to be healthy,” Altuve said Thursday, according to. “I’m proud and thankful for all the Houston Astros fans that voted not only for me but for also everybody on this team to make this possible. This is a huge, big deal for us. Unfortunately, I got hit in the hand and am playing through some stuff, so I really want to take these days and be ready for the second half.
This type of comment is the exact reason why the Astros have found the success they have over the past decade. Altuve, the leader in it all, understands just how much his team and fan base will need him in the second half.
