Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros expressed willingness to transition from his long-standing position at second base to accommodate potential roster changes, particularly if it aids in re-signing fellow star Alex Bregman. Astros general manager Dana Brown confirmed that Altuve would likely see time in left field this season, alongside his traditional role at second base. Brown emphasized this strategy to enhance versatility and flexibility within the team's lineup.

Despite this shift, the Astros are still committed to assessing Altuve's performance in left field while also planning for a robust infield. Altuve, who has dedicated most of his career to second base, remains open to doing what it takes to support the team's aspirations, including adapting to new positions.
