The Houston Astros are on track to make the Postseason for the ninth year in a row, and All-Star Jose Altuve should be healthy enough to compete once the tournament begins.

Altuve left Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Braves with right foot discomfort, but Astros general manager Dana Brown expressed optimism that the 35-year-old would be able to return sooner rather than later.

“Dana Brown told the Astros’ pregame radio show he expects Jose Altuve to miss “a day or two, two days tops” due to right foot soreness,” Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle tweeted. “Brown said he thinks Altuve has encountered this before. “We’re not concerned, our medical staff is not concerned.”

Across 144 games this season, Altuve has cranked 25 home runs, collected 70 RBIs, and earned a .770 OPS.
