2024 Fantasy Outlook
Altuve didn't make his season debut until mid-May after suffering a fractured right thumb during World Baseball Classic play. He also missed about three weeks of action around midseason with a strained oblique. In the 90 games he was healthy, Altuve was dynamite, posting an OPS over .900 for the second year in a row. He also did his usual thing in the postseason, putting up a .906 OPS with four home runs in 11 games. Altuve will turn 34 in May and he's not a bastion of health as he was earlier in his career, nor is he an elite base stealer anymore (although he's rebounded there the last two seasons). The all-around package remains excellent, though, and worthy of an early-round fantasy selection. Read Past Outlooks
Scratched amid rain delay
Altuve was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians while it was in a rain delay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The game had been delayed for almost an hour when the team submitted a new lineup without Altuve, Kyle Tucker or Alex Bregman, as the Astros opted to not risk one of their veterans getting injured in subpar conditions ahead of the playoffs.

Stat Review
How does Jose Altuve compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

One of these years, Altuve will let us down, but 2022 was not the year, as he had his best season by wRC+ by repeating his four-category volume, albeit not in the way anyone predicted. Houston's issues at the bottom of the lineup limited Altuve's opportunities to their rebuilding years levels, but the 18 steals in 19 attempts was a huge surprise after his three-year run of 16 for 24 on the bases. He was one of four players (Berti, Andrus, Marte) to swipe at least 18 bases at age 32, and for the first time since 2017 we have seen more than two players swipe that many bases. The changes in the rules may help Altuve's steals hold up another season, but treat double-digit steals as a bonus. The lineup around him and the home ballpark insulate him somewhat from the aging curve that he continues to evade. The physical similarities could raise the same age concerns that beset Dustin Pedroia at this age, but that is likely the only way he gets remotely discounted in drafts this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still no extension talks
According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, Astros GM Dana Brown said the organization has yet to have any extension talks with Altuve.
ANALYSIS
Altuve's agent, Scott Boras, relayed the same news in November, and apparently nothing has changed on that front over the past two months. The 33-year-old will make $26 million during the final year of his contract in 2024, and it remains to be seen if the two sides will have any meaningful negotiations before the start of the season. Altuve had a .915 OPS with 17 homers and 14 steals last season, though his 90 games played due to oblique and thumb injuries were his lowest for a full season since his rookie campaign.
