Altuve, who stands 5-foot-6, has never played the outfield at any point over his more than 15,000 defensive innings.
The Houston Astros have been among the best teams in the American League over the past few seasons. After reaching seven consecutive American League Championship Series from 2017 to 2023, the Astros lost to the Detroit Tigers in the wild-card round in 2024.
Jose Altuve stated his openness to a position change in the context of a specific pursuit, saying he would “do whatever,” including move from second base, if it helped the Houston Astros re-sign Alex Bregman.
Astros general manager Dana Brown said Tuesday that Altuve could get some reps in left field in addition to second base this season, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Brown added the caveat that Altuve playing left field might only happen if the team makes another roster addition.
Though the Astros have re-engaged with Bregman, general manager Dana Brown on Saturday characterized any potential reunion as a “long shot” given the state of Houston’s roster. Brown intimated that Bregman’s slow-moving market surprised the club and caused it to circle back.
