Jose Altuve, who missed four games with an oblique injury, returned to the lineup...
Astros manager Dusty Baker said he didn't want Altuve to feel any pressure in his return, especially since his timing may be a bit off after such a long stretch of being stuck on the bench. It helps that Dubón, who led off Tuesday's game with a home run, has been hitting well in the leadoff spot in Altuve's absence.Although Altuve has been the team's leadoff hitter the past three seasons, he's no stranger to hitting second.
Even if Altuve is a bit rusty, Baker said he's relieved to have the All-Star back anywhere in the lineup.
