Altuve in lineup for series opener in Seattle

September 16th, 2016

SEATTLE -- All-Star second baseman , who left Wednesday's game with right oblique discomfort, was in the Astros' lineup for Friday's series opener against the Mariners at Safeco Field.
The Astros called up infielder from Triple-A Fresno on Friday. Moran hit .259 with 18 doubles, 10 homers and 69 RBIs this year for Fresno, but he was 2-for-19 in a stretch with the Astros in May.
Altuve leads the Major Leagues in hits (196) and has a .341 batting average to go along with his career-high 24 homers and 94 RBIs, and Bregman is hitting .260 with eight homers and 32 RBIs in his rookie season.
