Jose Altuve is in an era of change. Not only did his longtime teammate Alex Bregman leave for the Boston Red Sox, but Altuve has been moved to left field. After playing 14 seasons at second base where he won an MVP, two World Series and made nine All-Star teams, Altuve will play the outfield for the Houston Astros this season. The veteran is making the change to help give the team flexibility. He made his debut in left on Friday, but did not have a ball hit his way.
On Sunday, however, Altuve was put to the test. During the first inning a ball got past shortstop Luis Guillorme and Altuve had to field the ball and throw home. The throw was wide and the Nationals scored their first run of the game.
