Jose Altuve contributed significantly in the Astros' 8-4 victory over the Red Sox, delivering a performance that included going 1-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
His two-run home run and additional run scored helped tilt the game in Houston's favor. This season, Altuve maintains a solid .302 batting average and his power numbers are respectable with 15 homers. His consistent ability to get on base and his knack for driving in runs (50 RBI in 112 games) make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. While his stolen base numbers aren't eye-popping, his overall production across multiple categories keeps him as a top option at second base.
