The Houston Astros are testing second baseman Jose Altuve in left field. He's practicing with the outfielders while continuing to train at second base.
Some players are returning to familiar defensive homes. Others will play somewhere for the very first time this season.
Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was willing to move to left field if it meant bringing back longtime teammate Alex Bregman, but those days are done in Houston. Without Bregman, the Astros are moving forward with a spring training trial of Altuve in left field. He's taking fly balls with outfielders and working at his typical spot, second base.
